Interesting title, isn’t it? We all know that person (often
times, it’s actually us) that smiles at almost anything that happens in their
life, be it good or bad it seems that nothing can bring them down. Have you
ever entertained the thought that they’re actually already broken on the
inside? That every smile is just as empty and meaningless as the life they
think they’re living? Sometimes, when that person smiles, they’re actually
crying out for help but they’re just too selfless to ask for it. Just think on
it, isn’t it too ‘peculiar’ that they make good friends? Maybe it’s because
they know what things to do or say so that they don’t hurt you because of all
the pain they faced. I mean come on, you should know by now that you ‘shouldn’t
judge a book by its cover’ nor a person for their manner. (bonus points for making it rhyme? :P )
If you know a friend that seems to have no personal issues,
just ask them, you’d be surprised to hear what they say…well….most times. Other
times they might just smile that ever so easy smile of theirs and say that
everything is fine. I’m sure everyone; at some point in their life have done
that. Sometimes, smiling away the pain is just as bad wearing it out in the
open.
If you are one of
these people, don’t be afraid to reach out for help or to just tell a close
friend. You’d be amazed at how freeing it is to have someone that you can tell
anything to. Its okay to feel down at times, what’s not okay is to think that
no one cares. There will always be someone out there somewhere (it could even
be your friend) that would do anything
to help you out. You just have to reach out the right person and your life can
change tremendously. Take a leap of faith, have faith that things will get
better because let’s face it, life’s to short to be down 24/7.
So, erase that fake smile off your face and wear your true
emotion. If you have true friends they’ll make you feel a few thousand times
better! If not, hey, go and find better friends, if your friends can’t handle
you at your worst then they sure as hell don’t deserve you at your best. Be who
you are and act how you feel, just don’t kill anything in the process :P
Okay then, now that the first bit is over, it’s time for the
second part. Who would’ve guessed that lies actually have truths in them? It’s
nigh impossible to make something up out of nowhere. Your lies almost always
have a dash of truth in them. I obviously don’t have any actual research to
back this up but let’s face it, we’re not creative enough to make things up out
of thin air. You’ll always use something true to base a lie around.
Why bother lying when you’re going to give out a small
truth? You might as well just say the truth. Take note though, there’s a fine
line between being honest and being cruel. If someone asks for your opinion,
give one that’s as honest and kind as possible, don’t just shoot your mouth and
break their hearts and/or self confidence.
Sometimes, a lie is more truthful than a lie and the truth a
bigger lie than the actual lie. Interesting, huh? Well, think on it. That’s the
entire purpose of this post, I want YOU to open up your mind’s eye and see
things differently.
Basically though, what I’m trying to say is that you are
beautiful in your own way. You don’t have to smile if you don’t want to. You don’t
have to cover up your emotions just because you think its not important. You don’t
have to be afraid to wear your true colors.
Look at it this way, I’m sure you’ve seen a rainbow before
right? They’re beautiful with all their colors aren’t they? Now, can you imagine
if the rainbow was just in one color? Boring isn’t it? That’s life; it’s a plethora
of different colors and shades. We’re not like everybody else just like no one
else is like us. We may look the same but we might have different personalities
and vice versa.
Strut your stuff! Show off who you really are and stop being
afraid of being different. Your life will be a lot easier once you accept who
you are instead of trying to mould yourself into what people want you to be. Let’s
face it, there will always be people that think you’re not good enough but who
needs those people? You are beautiful. Why? Well, because you are you. Everything
and everyone is made equal. No one is better than another.
As long as your not hurting yourself or others by being
yourself you will always have my support, whether you know, want or need it.
You’ll still have it :D
Confidence is gorgeous. Originality is fabulous. Creativity is
never out of style. And you are always (now and ever) beautiful :)
The world would be a boring place if everyone was the same. Wouldn’t
you agree?

matter and those who matter don't mind.” ~Dr. Seuss
