So today, while I was waiting for my next class, a girl came up to me and asked me why I had such a big smile on my face. I hadn't noticed this myself, but then I realized I had the largest smile on my face that I've had in a long time. I thought for a moment, taking a drag from my cigarette, looked at her and said:
"I guess its because even though there is an overcast today, the sun is still shining brightly. I still have blood in my body, air in my lungs, and the ground beneath my feet. I know that somewhere on this gigantic spinning rock that there is someone out there who loves my very existence, and I know that I love someone in the same exact way. So give me one damn good reason as to why I shouldn't be smiling at this moment."
She said nothing. Though, the ear to ear grin that had formed on her face expressed everything that I knew she was thinking. Our conversation ended with a simple nod and then we both walked off on our separate ways. Hopefully she went on to share this thought with others in random acts of happiness.
I rather enjoy this.
