I know it's hard to take your eyes off, but even for a moment won't hurt. The constant spotlight is a pain, it shines so brightly even when they sleep. Painstakingly illuminating their world like a constant sun with no moon nor stars.
Do you honestly believe one can smile for that long? It hurts a little in the cheeks but one slip and people might think it's not genuine. Teeth go rotten from the constant grin. Oh but don't worry, they can be replaced.
Only focusing on the bad brings one down. One bad apple doesn't mean the whole tree is wilting. Focus on the positive and keep inching forward, my little worm.
Love and affection from strangers is a gain. You never feel lonely again when you walk out in public and suddenly everyone knows you. You don't know them but you hug and kiss lightly until you're out of the crowd. Heavy-breathing both you and them.
