Think today for some reason or the other I've decided to not sweat the small stuff. I've heard this so many times, but today I made a decision to really live by this motto. The song "smile" really embodies the message of being shaken but not stirred,lol.But I do think this song has lived on because each generation has realised the importance of not allowing life's obstacles take away one's inner joy and peace.
"Smile" was written in 1936 by John Turner and Geoffrey Parsons, the music was by Charlie Chaplin. Here are the lyris:
Smile though your heart is aching
smile even though it's breaking
when there are clouds in the sky,you'll get by.
If you smile through your fear and sorrow,
smile and maybe tomorrow,
you'll see the sun come shinning through for you.
Light up your face with gladness, hide every trace of sadness
although a tear maybe ever so near.
That's the time you must keep on trying,smile whats the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile,if you just smile.

Why are things never like how they're supposed to be?
Don't you ever wish that things could be like how they're supposed to be. For example, you meet a guy and you like him, but he doesn't like you, isn't he supposed to like you back... Or all married couples are supposed to have a relationship like Will and Jada Smith. It's heartbreaking when you go into something and it's totally not what it's supposed to be or what you expected it to be.
So where do our expectations come from, cause it's not like life has a script of how every moment is gona play out. I believe that we're actually trying to relive a romance film or some rnb song, then when he doesnt return our love like how the song said he would,we then believe that we've failed.
We need to all get in touch with reality and stop trying to live out a disney fairy tale or a song written by someone who's never fallen in love.Everyone is going to have a different story in life, own your story and be proud of it.
