Everyday Melody

A lot of people say how they fake a smile in front of others so that their pain won't be found out. That their happiness and grins are merely masks to cover what they're really feeling inside.
But there's a way to really show happiness in a smile, isn't there? I think that to have a smile on your face even while you're hurting is really brave. However, it should be an honest one. Because if you think about it, trying to find that happiness is a way of acknowledging the sadness inside of you, because you're trying to search for a strength that will help you to move on.
Overthinking is another thing that prevent happiness. I have a habit of overthinking things that might be completely off the mark, or that don't even matter. And then I keep worrying about things that end up resolving themselves so easily in the end. So please don't waste your energy draining the potential for a smile while overthinking things.
There's a difference between trying to avoid reality and trying to find strength in a smile.
You're not running away.
