5 Words That Will Make You Smile

Words can either hurt someone, change their mind or simply make them happy and smile.

There are five words that I really think can make me smile and very happy about my life. The first one is metanoia.

Metanoia is a noun which means the journey of changing one’s mind, heart, self, or way of life.

When I saw this word on my timeline on Facebook, the word stuck out to me and I really wanted to use this new word in my vocabulary.

This word is intertwined daily in my life since I see it every day because it's my screensaver since on my laptop, which is an awesome daily reminder.

Another word that can make you smile because you know life is amazing is pábitel.

Pábitel is a noun which means a person fascinated by their own fate, in love with life, does and says unreasonable things, searches for beauty in the simplest objects and events, and likes to twist reality around to fit there liking; someone who proves that life is worth living.


When I saw this word I loved it because I was like, “Oh wait, this word totally explains me.”

I always say I love life! And I mean it: even when life throws obstacles at you.

Another word that can also make life interesting and worth living is wanderlust.

Wanderlust is a noun which means a strong desire for implies wander or travel and explore the world.


Another word that will make you want to get closer with nature is dauwtrappen.

Dauwtrappen is a verb which means walking barefoot in the morning grass (and gather spring flowers) or cycling through nature at dawn, when the grass is still covered in dew.


This particular word makes me think of the wonderful mornings when there is dew on the grass and I see birds flying in the sky and the sun rising.

It’s the little things that count!

The last final word that is an absolute lovely word is sophrosyne.

Sophrosyne is a noun which means healthy sate of mind, characterized by self-control, moderation, and a deep awareness of one’s true self, and resulting in true happiness.

I found all these lovely words on Facebook called Evolver Social Movement. This page is fantastic to follow because when you are strolling through Facebook a quote or a word will appear and you’ll smile.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.
