"How have you been?" your friend asks you. How have you been? You smile and respond, "Good, thank you," but you know that's not the truth. You know that the smile is just a mask to hide the truth of how you're really feeling. Because how you're really doing is quite terrible, but you won't admit it. And how you're feeling is torn apart at the moment. You feel like you could cry a river, but on the outside you're smiling as if everything's alright.

The truth is though, sometimes it's ok to admit that you're not alright. Sometimes it's perfectly ok to cry and let out how you're really feeling. Because when you admit that you're not alright, you can feel that your smile is truly a smile.

Just one of the raging thoughts that I've had on my mind recently. Sometimes I get sad for no reason, but don't want to admit it to anyone. And seeing how messed up it looks to smile and cry at the same time has somehow taught me that crying on the inside and still smiling just looks wrong. I set it on my desk, and everytime I saw it I thought, 'Ew, that's not right.' So just thought I would share this. Thanks!
