Today, I went to the gas station. The moment i drove in, i noticed the "usual" spot that i always park my car is parked by some idiot that decided to park right between the two fueling stations. Then i looked over at another station and this other idiot decided to park at the second fueling station, which meant i would have to reverse into the spot in front of him. I looked over to get a glance at this idiot. Unfortunately, the driver wasn't in his car. I however, was feeling irritated for the most ridiculous reason. I wasn't just irritated about how he parked, but also at the fact that he was driving a white 2009 Honda FIT! I was envious of color. Without further thought, i grabbed my credit card and opened my car door. When i stepped out of the car, that driver had just gotten in his car. I stared straight at him without any expression and i expected the same from him. However, he caught me by surprise with a friendly smile. I couldn't resist but i gave a quick forceful smile in return. I certainly felt ugly inside. Strangely, that split second of his smiled warmed my heart. At the same time, It bothered me that i didn't return the same smile. I'm not sure how to explain it. But it sure is a wonderful feeling when someone smiles at you. I hate to admit, but that smile made my day.
I realize that I need to smile more because a smile will always be a reflection of the way people feel about you.
