Faking a Smile

       "A smile is the best way to deal with difficult situations. Even if it’s a fake one. Used properly, you can fool anyone with them." How can we know when something is fake or real, especially a smile? It's almost impossible to tell. We encounter fake smiles everyday in our lives. But we just don’t know which ones are fake, and which ones are genuine. We ourselves also fake a smile, but what could be the reasons behind them?

       The most common reason why people fake a smile is to spare themselves on having to explain to others if what’s wrong with them. Some may even fake it just so they can avoid the tears from falling. That’s why they say looks can be deceiving, people may smile and look happy on the outside, but on the inside, they’re a total mess. They smile to keep themselves from breaking down. And people won’t even notice that because it’s so hard to tell whether a smile is real or not.

     Faking a smile isn’t always a bad thing; others fake it to be professional. They smile at people they dislike because they’re mature enough to handle the situation. They’re mature enough to let their hatred show in their faces. They smile to brush off the negative vibes, may it be an authentic smile or not. Others smile to be polite, because it seems rude when someone is talking to you about something and your face shows no interests at all.

      No matter the reason, a fake smile is still a fake smile. As a person, we can do something to change that. We can turn other people’s smile into a genuine smile. We can even turn it into a laugh if we try harder. Sometimes, even if a smile is fake, it can still make someone’s day. Like what they say, never frown because you never know who’s falling in love with your smile. 

A Place of Pure Happiness

       Amusement Parks are one of the happiest places in the world, you would rarely see a person there without a smile plastered on their face, except if they had just went out from the infamous Horror House. In an amusement park, you can go on a roller coaster that carries you up and down, or you can go on another kind of ride that whirls you around in a circle. The rides are scary but the overall thrill and experience is what makes it all worth it. When going to an Amusement park, one must release their inner adventurous side. And when you’re finally there, just forget the world for a while and enjoy the ride.

       The most popular ride in an Amusement park is the roller coaster. People would take too much time to contemplate whether they should try it or not, some would back out at the last minute and some would just go for it. The beginning is the most thrilling part, when the ride would slowly catch speed or would go up and then suddenly drop on a very high speed. After the ride, people would either vomit, swear to never do it again or just laugh it off. Me? I’d probably vomit, but you didn't have to know that.  

       

The Ferris wheel is also one of the most popular rides in an Amusement Park. An Amusement park isn’t even an Amusement park without a Ferris wheel; it’s like identity of the place already. People would already spot a Ferris wheel from a distance and immediately think there’s an Amusement park. This ride is mostly popular to couples so they can have their alone time away from the entire crowd. And if the park is in a good spot, the Ferris wheel might be a really great ride to have a full view of the city.

  

   Being in an amusement park won’t be that “amusing” without your friends or family to be with. So if you have plans, make sure to bring other people along to share the laughs and screams. It can be real costly sometimes to go to a Amusement parks, but the experience is worth the save.  You've missed 1/4 of your life if you haven't been to an Amusement park. I suggest you start saving now and start telling your friends about your plan.
