The Beatles and the word "love".
The Beatles used the word “love” 613 times throughout their career.
Fake laugh? Maybe not.
If you fake laugh long enough you’ll start to really laugh, really, really hard.
Blind people have beautiful smiles.
Even if they've never been able to witness it themselves, blind people smile when they are happy. Smiling is a basic human instinct.

Norway just got more awesome. NORWEGIAN RESPECT.
Norway once knighted a penguin. (The penguin
's full name is
Colonel-in-Chief Sir Nils Olav.)
85 Year Old Best Friends
If this doesn't make you smile, you are a heartless person. This is so sweet.
This kitten is so cute, it'll make you squeal.
This made my day. If it doesn't make yours I have nothing to say.
We are Children of the Stars.
Humans are made from carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen, which was
formed during the Big Bang and other exploding stars. We’re made from stardust.
:Happy|booK: (WHY?)
Well, lately I've been suffering from this... weird case of "depression", if that's even an appropriate word. It's more like... I feel jaded about my life. That I've invested so much energy into making the world a better place, my life a happier life, and yet, I'm disappointed, because no matter what I do, everything goes spiraling down. I was disappointed in... the world. Life. My environment. People. Myself. Why is it that the world around me is so cruel and incapable of good things? What happened to the good people in the world? Is there nobody left?
After school ended, I thought that maybe I'd get to enjoy time away from people. Be anti-social. Just hate humankind, the humankind that I had at one point in time fell in love with. Just suffer in self-seclusion and isolation, becoming a mental hermit sheltering in the caves of my mind. Brooding for eternity.
But I realized that it wasn't possible. I was sent to this summer program, where I got to meet new people from all over the nation. I had to smile. I was compelled, reluctantly, to socialize, hope, and fall in love with humankind again. Humankind's optimism, reluctance, love, logic, kindness, and most of all, diversity. It's only three days in, and I've already met so many inspiring and amazing people that I've already grown fond of in such a short amount of time.
As an event for this summer program, the participants were asked to participate in a hackathon. This type of hackathon isn't an event encouraging, teaching, or endorsing the hacking of other websites, accounts, or anything at all. Rather, it is an event were one is to build an app or website from scratch, using coding and API, and such cool programs.
I myself feel technologically handicapped. I may be good with using a computer, but asking me to create a website FROM SCRATCH? NO WAY. It's just not possible for me. It's going to take me WEEKS to learn it well.
My project partners and I had decided that we were going to code a website using "html" and "css", although none of us has any prior experience. And we decided that we were going to make our website to be ":Happy|booK:".
:Happy|booK: is supposed to be a compilation of small things that will make you smile. We wanted to put together all the things that might make someone smile, even if just a little bit. We want to show people that, hey, the world isn't a terrible place, there's good people too. You just haven't found them yet, so keep your head on high and smile. Make your life worth living, if you want something to change, be the change.
Well anyway, we had this awesome idea that we couldn't execute. None of us had any coding experience, therefore we spent the whole time going through tutorials that we might not remember after a few days. We never even got started on coding the website. We know how to now but the event's over....
Well it's such a great idea that I created a blog for it myself. (The others don't know... yet...) and that's perfectly okay.It's a great idea, and my goal is still the same.
So I've found my light again. I feel liberated, light, and ready to love again.
So keep your head high, be patient, smile, hope, and move forward.
