Life's Little Lessons

I think for the most part, I am a generally happy person. A lot of things make me smile and I go about my day knowing I am not one of those people who walks about frowning constantly. I laugh often, I live with passion (mostly happy, joyous, exciting), but I am not above letting the little things get me down. When someone looks at me the wrong way, judges me incorrectly, doesn't like me right off the bat, being unhappy with the amount of money I make and the stress that comes with being 'poor'... things like this can tend to get me down.
