I had been having a bad relationship for two years... and it took me a while to decide that it should be over and it took me too long to get over it. After the decision of breaking it up, I was depressed and stressed and I couldn't do much but felt sorry for myself most of the time that I neglected to see friends and families who were always there for me. I stopped going to the church. I stopped eating. I stopped working. I actually stopped living my life. Then one day... someone very special sent me a gift which were *mod edit* to go to different countries and all. I didn't want to go, I didn't want to see what was left out there for me when I had nothing left to give. But I was wrong...

I landed in Thailand... and the nicest and cheapest cure I was given to were SMILES. I thought it was strange at first, some total strangers came up and gave me smiles. Then I realized I musta look so down.

One day, I was sitting at this cafe. Great strong coffee by the way, on the street early in the morning, I couldn't sleep and I couldn't stay in the hotel. I was actually lonely and I wished someone was there with me. Then the atmosphere changed I thought of him again... My heart was getting very heavy until... this one old lady... very old... grabbed my hand and said... "chin up, sweetie" ... even if your tears are about to fall...always chin up! I looked at her strangely... but it made me smile with tears... it was the first time I smiled..after.. i don't know how long! Then the first thing I realized and learnt that morning was... SMILING wasn't that difficult... I started each day with a smile for myself in the mirror.. and then I learnt to give my smiles to others... in order to receive them back more... :)

Oh totally. Made me want to go to Thailand, sit in a dingy restaurant and make me wonder if I'm eating cat or not.
 
I was captivated by the thought of "great strong coffee" in a cafe in Thailand.

Better to laugh than cry unless you're crying while laughing.


I have been known to be crying and then something stupid happens and I start laughing..... I probably just need some meds to clear that up though...:p
