No matter what your situation is, where you come from, where you work, or what you look like...this message applies to everyone.
Why is it that every time I walk to class, the dining hall, or library and pass someone they do not smile, more so girls than boys? They simply look up and down or just look down...come on..you know what I'm talking about. We are all guilty of it. Why are we so afraid to be nice and accepting to one another?
How has society gotten to the point where we care so much about how a person looks at you that it affects the rest of your day? You could pass someone who looks at you and then once you smile, they look away. You never know what is going on in their life but we, especially women, take it personally.
Keep these 5 things in mind next time you are feeling down:
1. You are worth it
2. You are beautiful
3. You can change someone else's day
4. You can smile, even if they aren't
5. BE YOU :)
When you pass by the next person...smile. It is that simple. Do not look up and down because we all take it as criticism or judgement even if you are just observing what we are wearing. Just smile. It will make a huge difference on that person's day and I am telling you the way we treat each other needs to improve. I know it is so cliche' but I am tired of all girls trying to judge and tear each other down when we are supposed to be there for each other. I could go on and on about how we need to improve the way we treat each other but I will leave you with this: please smile, even say hello, as you pass the next person and I promise you it will touch them.
