Yesterday I went to find about my camera. The guy behind the desk's mouth dropped and he looked back at me and said "I'm sorry I don't understand.' I told him it was ok and he said 'it's been a bad day for everyone'. I responded 'I've had a month of pure hell and I'm still smiling.' I smiled as big as I could and walked away. Today the gas station clerk looked at me and said 'You're always smiling. It's so in nice.' For some reason his accent made his words seem pure to me. I responded 'everyone's already so upset. Why join them that just makes things worse.'
It's like I had this great ephiphany. I wrote again. I honestly went through several months of writer's block.
Everyone should smile after hearing the bad news and make a joke. That's the only thing that makes it better.
