5 Words That Will Make You Smile

Words can either hurt someone, change their mind or simply make them happy and smile.

There are five words that I really think can make me smile and very happy about my life. The first one is metanoia.

Metanoia is a noun which means the journey of changing one’s mind, heart, self, or way of life.

When I saw this word on my timeline on Facebook, the word stuck out to me and I really wanted to use this new word in my vocabulary.

This word is intertwined daily in my life since I see it every day because it's my screensaver since on my laptop, which is an awesome daily reminder.

Another word that can make you smile because you know life is amazing is pábitel.

Pábitel is a noun which means a person fascinated by their own fate, in love with life, does and says unreasonable things, searches for beauty in the simplest objects and events, and likes to twist reality around to fit there liking; someone who proves that life is worth living.


When I saw this word I loved it because I was like, “Oh wait, this word totally explains me.”

I always say I love life! And I mean it: even when life throws obstacles at you.

Another word that can also make life interesting and worth living is wanderlust.

Wanderlust is a noun which means a strong desire for implies wander or travel and explore the world.


Another word that will make you want to get closer with nature is dauwtrappen.

Dauwtrappen is a verb which means walking barefoot in the morning grass (and gather spring flowers) or cycling through nature at dawn, when the grass is still covered in dew.


This particular word makes me think of the wonderful mornings when there is dew on the grass and I see birds flying in the sky and the sun rising.

It’s the little things that count!

The last final word that is an absolute lovely word is sophrosyne.

Sophrosyne is a noun which means healthy sate of mind, characterized by self-control, moderation, and a deep awareness of one’s true self, and resulting in true happiness.

I found all these lovely words on Facebook called Evolver Social Movement. This page is fantastic to follow because when you are strolling through Facebook a quote or a word will appear and you’ll smile.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
