I have noticed something about Guam...
Something I've never seen anywhere else
in my entire life.
What I have noticed is that everybody,
whether they are young children, teenagers, adults, or elders,
they all have a certain way they interact.
It is a must for people to respect their elders,
but they joke around more than
I have ever seen before. It's not because
they have a good sense of humor,
well, all chamorro's have a good sense of humor,
but because it's just... The Island Way.
They know when to be serious, but they
also know that laughter is the best medicine.
They always have a joke going, a laugh for all to enjoy.
If the whole world was like this, everyone would be
happy all the time. It just puts me in a good mood
to be in this kind of atmosphere.
You can't possibly be upset when you
laugh and joke around all day with
people you love.
That's all for now!
Thanks for reading!
Sincerely,
Me.
Simply, a seventeen year old.
P.S.
Comment please! It would be appreciated (:
This is so true, I could never understand why my brothers would crack jokes even when I felt it wasn't time to do this, but now, I realize, instead of being sad or angry about something they'd joke just to let go of whatever life's troubles were, as Bobby Mcferrin would say, "Don't worry, be happy!" thanks for sharing this, it was awesome to read!
ReplyDeleteThanks Auntie Gigi!
ReplyDeleteIt is true.. I have never spent so much time with the people who work at Gef Pa'go until now so I never noticed it till now.
"Don't worry, be happy" is the best saying!
If you're not happy, your life is pointless. (:
