A Smile and A Grin

When you smile, it's there. It's there because someone said something nice or something funny. At that moment you're happy because you're not sad. Happiness is the absence of negative emotions. It's not anything amazing in particular. Many aim for this notion of happiness but in reality its content. It's being able to smile.

When you grin, it's not just there. You can feel it. Someone you love is nearby or something amazing just happened. At that moment you're filled with joy, you're not just happy. There's this indescribable bubble and you can feel yourself shake with excitement-with ecstasy. It's euphoric. It's being able to grin.
