the girl who always smiles.

Ashley: Every time i see you, you have a smile on your face and i don't understand why. After everything you have been through it seems like someone like you should be MORE than depressed. 

Elena: Yea Ash i have been through some shit but haven't we all? sometimes bad things happen and there is nothing that i or you or anyone can do to prevent that. its so easy to see the bad  things in life because we have lost interest in the good things. we take them for granted. the bad always out weighs the good but why? i still have my family, my TRUE friends, and my faith. there is nothing in the world, NOTHING, that is so bad that it makes me forget how happy those three things make me. i think that there is something good that comes out of every situation you just have to look for it.  it takes more energy to be angry than it does to be happy. No one WANTS to be sad. I smile because i have everything i could ever want. I think thats why i like to help people so much. Sometimes we forget how much we have to smile about
