How To Save A Life ..

This news article is inspired by a song that had teared my heart in two the first time I heard it : the fray - how to save a life .It is one of these songs that you can never seem to get enough of , it moved me and touched me in a every way .

I truly believe that being kind and bringing the goodness to the world is the most beauteous , amiable and refreshing thing ever .What on earth makes you feel any better than to make someone else happy , to draw that shiny smile upon their faces , to help and to love ? Nothing can stop you from turning dust into rainbows , from drying people's tears .

you my friend , you can make someone's day , someone's week ,someone's month and of course , someone's entire lifetime .You are able to fix someone .When you are feeling lost and weak , when you can't seem to find your 'own happiness' , I'm sure you would find the happiness within other people.It might be the little things , the little children smile , the sunshine , the running horses , happiness is all around you , you just have to notice it .

In order to make someone happy , you do not have to be a psychiatrist ,doctor,old or whatsoever . All that you have to be is human-being.In order to make some happy , you do not have to give them million dollar ,or to buy them expensive things , it's the little things :think about a little kind comment on a deviation that hasn't received any comment , appreciate someone's art and tell them to keep it up ,encourage them to run deeper into art .

What are you waiting for ? think of someone who might need your help , think of a way you could make someone's day , think about a plan to make someone happy about themselves , you hold the happiness of someone , I bet you do , I'm sure you do .

DeviantArt , a place to start from ..

As mentioned above , you might start with the little things . The question is , what baby-steps you could take to make someone happy? Simple ! deviantart is the key . Have you always thought that or/and still think deivantart is just a place to share art ? Wrong ! Here are some opportunities that dA offers to you to make someone happy :


1-Comments
comments have a very spanking effect on every single artist.Whether it is a well-known artist or a beginner , comments are always appreciated even if it does not seem so sometimes. By writing a comment to someone , you could bring them joy.Write a meaningful comment , positive one . Give your fully-honest opinion about the deviation you comment on , give suggestion about how you think the deviation could look better .
If you do not find a random deviation good enough for you , you do not have to be rude and a meany-head and scream it out loud , keep it to yourself and find other deviations that you like .Consider that people have different tastes in art. Many deviants are waiting you , seek them and comment on their pieces .


2-Deviations
No matter what kind/type of art you are interested in , as long as you try your hardest to send a message out-through your art , you are happiness-bringer. Pictures have always made me feel better , when I was feeling down , browsing through dA has made me feel so much better. It doesn't always has to be a 'joyful' picture , sad photos bring happiness as well , they make you realize you are not alone in the pain , we all share it .. and what is happiness without sadness after-all?


3-Suggest A Daily Deviation
Perhaps suggesting a DD is appreciating art in a higher level .Whenever you feel like there is a specific picture that deserves much more attention ,or whenever you get overwhelmed by a specific picture , feel free to suggest it as a DD . If you still do not know much about Daily Deviation , there you :
1)What is a Daily Deviation?
2)Who selects the Daily Deviation and how is it chosen?
3)What do I do when I disapprove of a Daily Deviation feature?

4-A Warm-welcoming
Imagine how sweet it could be if you write a comment to a new deviant . Put yourself in every new deviant's shoes ,and you notice that other deviants are writing welcoming comments , how would that make you feel ? it will absolutely make you feel happy and accepted.However,there are new deviants who haven't gotten any warm-welcoming which made them feel useless and eventually they left deviantart , do not let that happen .

In case you are wondering where you could find the new members , there you go : [link] ( look for 'New Deviants' , droll down in right-side until you find it ). It only takes a little of your time ! instead of feeling bored-around , you can start welcoming new deviants .


5-Adding deviations to your favorites & watch
If you saw a deviation that made your mouth drop , fave it ! The more faves a deviation gets , the more confident the artist would feel about their works/art . And there's no doubt that when you get more watchers , you would try your best to improve your skills to keep impressing your watches .


6-Feature
When you are featuring someone's work , it proves that you find it interesting , and not only that , you are actually willing that people would appreciate the work as well . You can feature in your journal , you can feature in your page or if you haven't gotten subscription, you can feature in a news article ! if you don't know how , there you go : [link]

7-Notes&dedications
As a way of appreciating the people who support you , encourage you and are always there for you , you can dedicate a picture for them . Or you can send them notes , tell them how much you appreciate their never-ending support , make them happy back .

8-donate subscription&hold a contest
There are some members here whom are dying to get a subscription and enjoy its features , if you have some money to spend , that would be super-kind and it would totally make whoever you donate happy . Or , you can hold a contest with prizes to the winners .


And the list goes on forevermore ..
There are lots of things I could add , if you just think about it , you'll realize how many things you could do that would make someone happy .
