[Free] Unexpected


                Think you know everything about someone? Think again; people will surprise you. There are so many possible things that can occur during someone’s lifetime. We do not know everything about this person; we only know what this person chooses to tell us. For all you and I know, this person can be a part time student, part time serial killer. For all you and I know, this upbeat, positive friend could have gone through the most obstacles in life. In short, we only know so much.
                When most look at more than content people, they automatically think that those people have nothing wrong in their lives. However, that is not always the case. Nobody is truly happy all the time. At one point in their lives, they might have had to endure pain that most people their age should not have to experience.  I admire these people for finding the strength to be able to smile again. As cliché as that may sound, it is true. Let’s say someone has lost a close primary family member a year or two ago. I can only imagine how it must feel to need to undergo that type of pain in addition my daily challenges. On top of that, they do not show any signs of depression. You would expect people to be depressed and mourning over their loss constantly, wouldn’t you? What if this person is always smiling and laughing? Moving on from experiences such as that are one of the hardest things people would have to do in their lives. I cannot help but commend them for moving along with their lives and still being able to appreciate everything in front of them.
