I always treat every person with kindness. No matter their gender, religion, sexual orientation, race, or political views. I give a big smile to everyone I meet. I always share a "not so funny" joke with my group of friends, then end up giggling non-stop. I pass out uplifting compliments to the strangers I pass in the store. I hold the door open with a hidden smile under my mask for the family walking behind me out of the store. I am a nice happy girl, it is who I am. Why wouldn't I be that girl? Sure I get the comments that I'm "too nice" or "fake". Once in awhile I get the dirty looks from simply being what is considered "too happy". Let me break it down. If I smile too much or even grin for a long period of time, it becomes an issue to some people. My own emotion somehow triggers another's. It still do not understand how a person could be hated for simply being happy. Then again I do not understand how people can hate.

Hate is such a powerful word. The term means having a strong feeling of dislike towards a noun. I never use the term towards a person, because I feel I could never say that about a person. While I may be harassed, tormented, mocked, or worse, I can not hate a person for their actions. It is hard to explain, and I already know there are a few of you currently reading this with mixed thoughts. But in simple terms, I do not hate anyone. I can admit I am not proud of peoples actions, but in the end I always will be forgiving. I will even accept the apology before it is given. It is hard to have take that responsibility and constantly forgive, but its the right thing to do. Well to me it feels right.

Also being nice is not just complimenting someone's appearance. It is an act of kindness, but I feel there is more than saying words. I believe you can not simply address the beauty someone owns, but show the beauty within yourself. Of course, give out compliments like it is candy. But be truthful with your words, and show your smile. Show the power with the words you speak by not calling her pretty, but "jaw dropping", "stunning". Also do not forget to keep that contagious smile on your face when you do. But being the "nice happy girl" is not just about lifting other up, but keeping yourself up.

Another problem of being a "happy nice girl" is staying positive, even when it is hard. I always look for the good things in life, and keep my mindset on that. I don't ignore the complex issues facing society, but I try to keep an optimistic mindset. Yet attempting to actually maintain that positivity can be tough especially when it does not seem like anything in life is going as planned. I always manage to fight through the struggles that may come my way with a smile on my face. It seems like a cheesy line from a book, but cheesy lines keep that darn smile on my face.
