They see you smiling, not knowing that there’s pain, sorrow and sadness behind your smile. They don’t realise that your smile is a sign of strength, endurance and courage. You have gained these pushing factors because you have been dragged through the mud. You have walked barefoot on sharp stones.

You have fallen hard, you have risen, and you are still rising. Sometimes you need that smile to uplift you. Sometimes your smile is about you and nobody else. At times it is to show the world that things can get better and it can end with a smile. When life tries to pull you down you have to show up with a smile.

Your smile is a message to those who have lost hope. It is uplifting to those who feel down. A symbol of love to those who feel unloved. They see you smiling. Keep smiling especially at yourself. #smiles
