5 Reasons Why You Should Smile:

1.) Smile because you're beautiful.

2.) Smile because you matter.

3.) Smile because you're here, alive and breathing.

4.) Smile because you're supposed to, in order to keep the people around you happy.

I used to write this exact same note to myself on nearly everything I owned. It reminded me to stay happy. Sometimes, we forget we have a purpose, and this is not only a reminder for me, but it is a reminder for you. I know you're probably thinking, "How can you tell me these things if you don't even know me?" 

But I can tell you this. You know why? In order to consider this, you had to have listened, and you also had to process what I have written.

You second guessed yourself, but do me and all of your loved ones a favor, and don't do that. You are important to more people than you think. As Steven Chbosy once wrote, "We all accept the love we think we deserve." Someday, you will accept this list of reasons to smile. It may not be today, but someday, you will grow confident and accept it. So thank you for listening, my friend. Thank you for reading.
