The neurons form long-term relationships, essentially weaving their own neural web. Conversely, if you manage to get out of that pattern and form new emotional states rather than just repeating the same ones over and over again, you can actually rewire your brain to form a different neural web and different peptides.

It’s totally great that you guys are doing so much outside stuff this summer — it sounds like alot of fun!

Maybe people are also just prettier when they’re walking around smiling?

Dreya, yes, I think that’s quite likely.

I’ve lived at both ends of the scale and I do know that people (especially children) are likely to poke fun at you in public. Although I doubt that I could see myself at ever reacting with anger and disgust in response to a young child.

sounds like a fun ride for sure though!
