Did something happen...?

Have you noticed something strange these days?

Today Lindy and I were waiting at the train station, watching the people around us, when we noticed something bizarre.

No one was smiling.

Sure, people were frowning at newspapers and stressing and listening to their iPods boredly - but not a single person was smiling.

Is it so hard these days to find a smile somewhere within ourselves? Is there so much unhappiness in the world? Did something terrible happen when we weren't watching?

Sometimes life can seem so drab that we forget about all the good things that exist in the world, and forget how to turn on that smile. Teenage years are probably the worst (and don't we know it) - pressures to fit in, troubles with friends, parents and (hah, don't lie) the opposite sex.

So that's why we started this blog! We want to start encouraging people to think positively, optimistically and ultimately? Just feel happier, even if it's only one small smile at a time.

And before we finish off, we'd like to ask you one last question:

Are you smiling right now?

If not, keep reading this blog and we'll do our best to put a smile on that pretty face. Yes, even you boys.

If you are - that's a little weird because nobody smiles to themselves while surfing the net. But keep posted anyway, and we might make you do just that!

And remember, Happiness Equals Bracket =)
