"Smile even though you're sad." (Death of a Bachelor, Panic! At the Disco)
A smile is a funny little thing that can tell or hide so much. When I was little, I smiled a lot. I was a smiling baby. I smiled a lot until my life changed. Something happened that changed me, and I didn't smile. Then I met a boy that made me smile for a long time, and I loved him for that. I suppose I still love him, but in a completely different way. When life happened and we parted ways, I didn't smile for a long time. Then when people started to actually worry about me, I faked it to avoid attention. I would smile even though I was sad. But now I'm a genuine smiler again because I have hope for my future. I have assurance that I'll be okay. It's not knowing that one day I'll meet another boy that will make me smile. That's not my motivation. I smile because I know one day none of my smiles will be fake. I'll smile and be happy, just like when I was a baby.
