I am proud to announce, that this post wont be as completely depressing and negative as my recents. Its just a little story to share, that i quite enjoy. So I have this little postcard stuck on my wall. I got it from the library at school, and its meant to be an ad for any emerging artists to send their entries into this postcard place, but i kept it because of the picture. On it is a little sketched cartoon of a boy, who is standing in front of a colourful happy background, but there's a raincloud above his head, and he's crying. The title above him reads "Having a bad day?"
I dont know why, but I stuck it on my wall, half because of the cute picture and the other half because for some reason I gave it sentimental value. And whenever I am having a bad day, I see that little cartoon boy on my wall feeling just as melancholy with me. He's been there for a while now.
But today when I was sitting at my desk with my mind busy on other tasks, I glanced up at the postcard accidentally, and noticed that something was different. Someone had come into my room at some point, turned the card over, and stuck it back up on my wall. I now had the underside of the card stuck up above my desk, shining out to my bedroom. But this side said in thick black letters "Don't Worry, the sun will come out tomorrow". All this time the side with the little boy crying was on my wall, and I didnt even know that the other side had this cute message on it. But when i saw that message up on my wall, it gave me a huge case of the warm-and-fuzzies. It just so happened that at this certain time, i was indeed having a very stressful day. And when I saw that little message, even though I have no idea who put it up there, it made me feel like that person cared. Those warm-fuzzies gave me a sort of epiphany, and actually brightened up my whole day. During this feel-good mood, I decided to do a little experiment, and i typed 'happiness' into google images. I then found this picture. The words on it only added to my epiphany and further opened and cleared my mind. They were like the sign that had to be held in front of my eyes to tell me what i'd been doing wrong this whole time. Have a look for yourself, im sure you'll understand.
