Behind every smile

You see my smile…that smile keeps tears back. That smile offers hope to others. That smile hides pain. That smile celebrates the triumphs and victories I have achieved to get up and keep going. That smile doesn’t dwell on the sadness that looms around the corner. That smile doesn’t show the world the fear of what may be at home. That smile offers love. That smile provides joy. That smile pulls others up. That smile is the window to my heart.

I am at a place in my life where I am not stressed all the time. I have learned how to enjoy the moments. I have learned how to breathe through the bullshit. I have learned how to smile.
