Bright Lights and Childish Smiles

That was my favorite picture of the summer. That night was absolutely beautiful. School starts in two days. That's beyond crazy. I actually can't wait. I need my routine back! As soon as possible.
So last night I was reading and i put this lamp on my bed. It was a dim light. I by accident knocked into it and it fell on the ground. It didn't break, no, instead, it got brighter. So I realized something. All of us are lights and the only way to get brighter is to fall. We can't let other people take our falls for us, no, we have to take them, gracefully. We need to be shaken up, hurt, because if we overcome it, we shine brighter and brighter. There's not always going to be someone waiting at the ground to catch us, but that's okay. We'll brake a few bones and get a few scars (hypothetically of course) and then we can walk with our scares proudly and our bones stronger.
So today I met this little girl. Her name was Victoria. I was sitting alone eating dinner because my table was full at this party and she comes up to me and says "I'm sitting alone too." She joins me and she was just so bright on her own. So carefree and loving. She had nothing to worry about because she was young but also because she knew everything is alright. She honestly made my whole entire evening. Her genuine smile and sparkling eyes. There was something about her that made me smile so much. Of course, I was in need of her. We always get what we need, sometimes it's not what we want. She was an absolute doll and this is dedicated to her. So be like Victoria, brighten up someone's day with a smile. A hello. Anything. My friend and I used to go running and my friend would say hello to everyone and I would get mad at her for annoying so many people. Now I know she wasn't annoying them..she was making them smile. Kindness is greater than everything, especially when its from your heart and not because you want to be commended. Victoria's kindness was sincere. Though she may not know it, it made me smile inside and out. She was 4 years old. Please release that child like quality in yourself. It's not always good to be so serious. Have a wonderful day<3
