Photo Credits: Wayne Hsieh                        Lalaurie mansion is a house that was built in 1800s and it is famous as one of the most haunted houses in New Orleans.

You look happier...

"You look happier!" is in my opinion one of the best compliments a person can get. I do get compliments everyday from my colleagues and friends, but am I happy? I am trying to be... but I kinda am in dark place right now. Why am I telling you this now... Sometimes reading about similar situations helps people.
