"a warm smile is the universal language of kindness" -William Arthur Ward. That is a quote I heard a long time ago, but it never leaves my mind. To me a warm smile is not only a symbol of kindness, but a symbol of happiness. In a way, spreading kindness and happiness is just like spreading positivity. To me spreading positive vibes is super important and can make a big impact on society.
Spreading positivity around became important to me around the beginning of my sophomore year... but there are reasons why it became so important to me around that time. Around the beginning of sophomore year a lot of things started to change for me. I was constantly depressed and let my positive mindset start to slip away, but I did not let the negativity consume me. One day a few weeks into sophomore year I was extra sad and people seemed to notice. That day a random girl saw that I was sad and so she looked me in the eyes and just gave me a warm smile. She told me that everything was going to be okay and then she walked away. That single smile made my day and made me realize that everything is really going to be okay. but then I realized that if her smile made me feel better, then maybe mine will make others feel better too. From that day on I started to do what she did to me and I realized that simple acts of kindness like that can spread positivity. As time went on I regained my positive mindset and realized the importance of being positive. The little things that spread positivity make the biggest difference. Simply giving someone a hug can increase their happiness if they're sad. According to Power of Positivity, telling someone why you love them and appreciate them can immediately spread positivity and remind them of their self worth. Overall it's always the little things that spread positivity. It is so important to me because I believe that everyone deserves to be happy no matter what. No one deserves sadness in their life, no matter who they are.
