Top 10 Little Things That Make You Smile
It's the little things in life that make life worth living.
-
Receiving a compliment
It feels so good, and I personally love doing it to others as well.
Nice to receive but even nicer to give.
-
Eating your favourite meal
-
Being in a job you love
-
Catching up with friends
-
Hearing a good song you haven't listened to in a while
-
Seeing a smile from a stranger
Depends on the smile. If it's nice, it's nice, but if it's creepy, it's creepy. A nice one is always good, though.
A friendly smile, wave, or kindness from a complete stranger is a wonderful thing.
I always try to smile at everyone I can that I don't know, and while I sometimes get weird looks, I know that to some people, it meant a lot.

Starting a brand new novel
Hey, you forgot the blankets! And a bowl of snacks, and perfect privacy, plus the book has to be a Christie or a Wodehouse or a decent thriller. I just love this feeling!
And ten minutes later, I look at my book - only 5 pages down, 395 to go, and there's this feeling of euphoria you can't ever take away from me. Which you can't take from me... Until the annoying little brother barges into the room shrieking, "Have you seen the new Ninja Turtles series? It's SO COOL! I ate a chicken burger today after school - so tasty! Hey, can you move off the chair, I need it! Um, can you lend me a few bucks... For stationery... Hey, what're you reading? Move off!" Yeah, until then.
Opening a brand new crime/thriller novel, with a cup of tea and being curled up on the sofa with gentle jazz music playing in the background. Hmm. Perfect!

Enjoying a peaceful Sunday afternoon
It's nice. I like to watch back-to-back episodes of my favorite classic British comedies, a musical, or 'corny old black and white films.'
-
Hearing the theme song of a show you love
Simply hearing the Gravity Falls theme song fills me with love and a fangirling spirit for the show.
Whenever I hear the theme from Doctor Who, I can't help but smile.
-
Hearing a baby laughing
Not gonna lie, I normally don't like babies (I know I used to be one. I'm not dumb), but they're kind of cute when they're laughing.

Looking at old photos

Watching an awesome movie

Hearing your favorite band on the radio
As a fan of gothic metal, I do not hear my favourite bands on the radio, unfortunately.
-
Watching a nostalgic film
It makes you smile with a certain kind of joy!
-
When someone is kind enough to care
-
Seeing your crush walk into the room
When that special person walks in the room, whether you're a guy or a girl, you force yourself to hold back that smile. But it just breaks through anyway.
-
Watching corny old black and white films
Charlie Chaplin was a pioneer, and while most people would say, "how can you have comedy without sound?" I say, "what good are words if they have no meaning?" I find so much value in these types of movies because they were the root of our modern-day films.
Without Charlie Chaplin or The Three Stooges, there would be no Monty Python, no Seinfeld, and no Jim Carrey!
I loved that comment! Also applies to Laurel and Hardy silent films. Lovely comment!
-
Seeing or hearing your crush's name
I know it may sound a little obsessive or cheesy, but I can't help but smile when I see his name.
-
Seeing your best friend having a good time
It makes you feel good to see your friend, who has had a tough time with life and love, have a smile on their face around another person. It makes you feel happy for a friend!
-
Hearing the distant sound of a dog barking
-
Having a conversation with your crush
My crush said she had feelings for me the other day, but today she just insulted me, and not as a joke?
Even if it's about someone else or something you have in common (music, movies), it's always nice to know you get the chance to talk to him or her. That always makes me smile.
This is special, even if it's only for a few moments.
-
Seeing your childhood toys or blanket
I have a baby blanket from when I was born, and I have a special attachment to it. I don't sleep with it, but I have it in storage.
Sometimes I see my cousins with their baby blankets, and it makes me miss my childhood, especially back when my mom babysat them. But knowing that my blanket is always in my room waiting for me makes me feel a bit better.
I tend to feel much better after a hug or cuddle session with my blanket.

When your car starts in the morning

Drinking a cup of tea
-
When a fictional character dies in a beautiful way
This is heartbreaking! Don't tell me you smiled when
SPOILER
Firestar died or something! He died honorably, but that didn't make it happy!
