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.

Disclaimer: I do not have a mental disorder and I am not trying to offend anyone here.

Vinte- Vinte is the writer in my mind and every time I sit down to do something, she's the one that comes to life. She is the one that has all the information gathered together and sorted in some chaotic way. She can also take the side of any character I'm working on and figure out what their reactions and such would be.

Jordan - Jordan is the carefree side of me, the person I want to eventually be. I don't see a lot of her as she only appears on good days when I'm happy or helping others. When she comes out, it's like a burden has been lifted off my shoulders and the mask has fallen away and I can actually be me.

Emily - Emily is me. The one that I have to live as day in and day out. Emily holds all of my doubts and insecurities and feels the pain. Unlike Jordan, she's not as happy and sunshiney as some think and unlike Vinte, she has a hard time keeping everything together.

Fangirl - Yes, that's what I call her. She's the totally happy side of me that loves to sit down and talk (hahaha) about what she loves. This side of me comes out on a daily basis whether it be at the dinner table or in a chat with my friends. This is also the part of me that feels the most happiness, aka, second-hand happiness.

Apollo - She is the precise side of me that is meticulous in everything she does. Everything must be perfect and just so and she never leaves a job unfinished. Apollo never really appears and so I continue to procrastinate.
