The Intergalactic Conference

Confessions on Balloons

Sometimes I want to buy balloons, write on them, and let them sail into the sky, never to be seen again.

I want to confess three things. I want to write them down on a balloon and forget about them.

First Confession

I secretly hate school because they never put a music program into my education. I envy those who can play instruments.

Second Confession

I secretly hate cars because they get me places no faster or more efficient than taking public transit. I pity those that think they're rich and smart just by driving around a car.

Third Confession

I secretly hate myself because I give up on my own goals too easily only to come back on them later on. But I love myself. I love myself for being mature enough to realize that achieving my goals is never too late.

Can You Please Smile?

I know, your teeth look hideous. I can assure you, they are nowhere near as hideous as mine. Have you seen my front two teeth?

And even when my teeth look hideous, when I smile, people smile back. And they don't smile back because of my teeth. How do I know? One, because they look me in the eye when they smile. And two, because they are far enough away that they won't see how hideous my teeth is.

So smile! Smiling is good for you. Smiling makes other people feel good. Smiling may increase your lifespan by who knows how much. 

Can you please smile?
