-ok wait that was really cheesy. but im leaving it up. more specifically, i enjoy being around people that smile. it doesnt really have to be for any particular reason, or at me, or on purpose. seeing people quietly smiling at themselves thinking about something unknown, that brightens my day. they are heroes to me. (anyone can be a hero) im totally a fan of putting up cheesy statements. kinda how i live my life i guess. judge away
