“Lose” a smile: The algorithm responds to the paragraph above about the toddler laughing

One of my friends lost her smile yesterday and I have to say, it freaked me out a bit. The idea of losing something as important as a smile is terrifying. I’m not even sure if it’s possible to “lose” a smile. I guess it’s the idea that a smile could suddenly stop in your face that scares the hell out of me.

The more I thought about it, the more I realized that a smile can be replaced. This is a lesson for life. If you are ever in a situation where a smile isn’t working, try and find something else. There is always a plan B. There has been a reason for it all, it’s just about working out what that reason is.

I went for a walk after dinner last night. I needed to get somewhere and I had no idea. I stumbled upon a bookshop and decided to go in. I went in and started to browse the shelves and I realized how many books I didn’t have time to read. I sat down and thought about the books I had time to read and the books I didn’t. I started to think of all the books I had read so far. I was remembering the first time I read my favorite book. I was remembering the time that I first read a book about my favorite topic. I was remembering a time when a book made me laugh so much that my face hurt and I couldn’t eat dinner because of how much I was laughing. I was remembering a time when I was so desperate for that book, I almost felt like I was going to die.

I realized that a smile is made up of lots of other things, but at the end of the day, it’s the books I read that make up the smile.

I like people that are fun to talk to. I like them when I’m with friends, when I’m out and about, I like them when I’m at home and in bed. I like people who are happy. I want people that make me feel good. I want those that smile at me when I’m walking past or give me a hug when someone I love is dead.

I like that when I walk in, they give me a smile. I like that when I’m walking out, I give them a smile. I like the people that make me smile, that smile back, and those are the people I want to be around.

I like people that are so different from one another, who have nothing in common. I like them, because I like to think that when I look back at life, I haven’t really made any real connections about anything except for the people that make me smile, laugh, and think.

I want those people to meet one another. I want to get to know people that are good to one another.
