post a smile

Professor: "Do you always smile like that?"

Me: "Smile like what?"

Professor: "Like that. Like, all the time? You are always smiling."

Me: "Uh, yeah I suppose!"

Professor: "It's like part of your routine is putting on a smile, or something. You smack it to your face like a Post-It. I call your name for attendance and you smile like I just told you that you won the lottery.

....are you really always smiling?"

I'm a firm believer that your outward protrayal of emotion can affect your inward mind.

Put on a smile, and I bet you feel alive.
