Hey, is it just me, or has anyone else notice the increased amount of superly depressed people in the world? Well, if you haven't, than maybe you live in a nice area :). Unfortunately, here, there's a lot of people with a lot of problems; which is normal. Nobody is perfect, and nobody is expected to be. But it's still a shame that there's not too many people seen smiling on the streets.
That's when I read about this brilliant idea. I was on that Dollars-bbs.org website, and there, they have this missions thing. It's where people talk about "missions" they can do in order to make this world a happier place. What I love most about this missions board on the Dollars website, is that all the missions there (well the ones that I've read) can easily be done by anyone :D. Which is great because I'm too lazy to try anything difficult xD.
So there was this one mission that seemed to catch my attention. It was where you could get something as simple as a post it note, and write "The world isn't as bad as you think. ~the Dollars." Then you post it anywhere that people will see. Oh btw, it's signed by "the Dollars" because the members of that website are called Dollars :) ...which is a Durarara reference ^3^ (I love Durarara! btw ♥). The idea of this mission is to create a few of those post its and place them anywhere; on lockers, shop windows, desks, doors, etc."
So I got a few examples from the Dollars-bbs.org website I go on. Meaning, I did not post these up myself. These are just REAL examples by people who actually already did this mission. Yes, this is not a new idea, and I did not create this. I just wanted to clearly state that, so I don't take the credit away from the person who actually created this ingenious idea :). But seriously, this is a really cool "innovative idea" as meh friend Choco-chan describes it :D. Oh! Which reminds me, I told almost all of my friends about this, and encouraged them to do this.
I know if I saw this during my daily life, I would totally be happier. It's just a sweet idea that'll change the mood of anyone's day. Can you imagine walking on the streets, whether it's to some important destination or just you aimlessly walking around, and seeing a little note saying to look at the world in a better light? It'd be so oddly random, but a positive idea. That kind of strange thing just sticks with you. Knowing me, I'd probably be thinking about my time seeing it whenever I have nothing else to think about. And I'll probably giggle, and smile over it. I don't know how much of an affect this will really have, but I mean, it's worth a try, right?
If you haven't guessed it yet, I'm going to actually do this! Yea, I'm crazy, and I came up with a little name for it, myself, "Operation: Change the World...or at least New York City" xD.
This sort of thing is incredibly easy. I mean maybe a lot of people will see it or maybe just one person will see it. But what I'm hoping to do here is to make a difference to that one person who happens to stop and look at it. I can make a difference like this. Perhaps, this'll make that one extra person a little bit happier, and that's enough to inspire me to do this. That's why I printed out 96 little index cards saying "Smile. The world isn't as bad as you think."
It sounds kinda crazy, but what can I say, I'm a dreamer, a believer! I dream to increase the population of happy people on this world~! ...because... I want to. LOL do I need a better reason to do what I'm doing than that?
Oh, and why 96 index cards and not just make it a 100? Oh well, you see, I originally printed out one for a test sample. Then I printed out 45 more..because I like that number. But then I was just like what the heck, I'll print 50 more! So I yea, 1 + 45 + 50 = 96... xD;;. I love my printer though!! I can change the paper size of my creation, and print it out on something of that size. That's how I was able to print it directly on the index card with ease, which made my life better <3. I bet a lot of the latest printers can do this, but I'm amazed by it nevertheless!! XD
I'm planning on plastering this in my school and on the streets. ...oh, by the way, if you ever happen to hear about this on the news or something (which is highly unlikely)... just remember, I didn't do this ;D. eh heh~.
