Sometimes, a smile can be a mask, a way to hide pain or sadness from the world. People often wear smiles to maintain appearances, to fit in, or to avoid questions. Behind those smiles, there might be stories of struggle, heartache, grief, or simply a bad day.
It’s a reminder that empathy and kindness go a long way, as we never truly know what someone else might be going through. Taking the time to genuinely connect and offer a listening ear can make all the difference in someone's life.
