" SmileS & TearS "

People say I look like a happy girl, a small girl with a big smile. I’m one who love to smile. I’ve learnt that a SMILE costs nothing, but GIVES much. It enriches those who receive, without making a poorer me who give. When taking part in new social group activities like Hyec, I tend to "break the ice" smiling first to people, whom I’ve never met before. Some people seem tired to give their smiles (?).
I smile among people, yet I've cried and I will just cry…alone. I cry for failing to fill such vacancy, a blank of soul in me, which I feel the most at night, when I suddenly wake up, with tears, turning on the Celine Dion's song “to love you more”, recalling the one I had deeply loved but truly lost; recalling the country where I had been living for a while; deadly missing its language which is neither Vietnamese nor English. Someone has ever said "the brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you can't go on, well in life, until you let go of your past failures, and heartaches". I keep reminding that to myself. I definitely have to keep moving and moving forward. There are so many things in life that are worth living for, fighting for, my beloved family, sweet buddies, my future ahead….
Stilllllll, there are a lot more reasons that make myself smile and cry. So what? That is life ! Deal with it !
Sooner or later, one can, if he/she is wise, discover that life is a mixture of good days and bad, victory and defeat, GIVE and TAKE, SMILES and TEARS. Those all "ingredients", SPICE UP my life and yours….
