Hiding behind fake smiles can leave the soul consumed with grief and so lonely.
You know (and I don't think I have ever told this to anyone here) I have a tatoo of two face mask both smiling.
The reason I have them is to remind me that it is okay for me to wear a fake smile out in the world, but at home with the ones I love and trust I have to be myslef and not try to fake it until I make...
As long as you are honest with yourself and those close to you then the rest of the world can see your fake smile.
