THE HIDDEN FAÇADE OF A SMILE

Life is not always a bed of roses, it does not always grant us our desires and not many things often go the way we want them to, and out there, there are alot of people that have no choice but to accept the reality of things without even stressing about it, while others try as much as possible to defy that fate or reality. Among the 8.2 billion people in the world today, there are people that are silently passing through difficult situations and they still come out to present theirselves with smile's on their faces.

It takes alot of courage to keep moving forward even when things are not working out for you and everything in you is screaming for you to stop, but I want to tell you today, don't relent, do not give up, because I know for every dark tunnel there is always an exit, and it does not matter how long or winding your own might be, because there is always light at the end of it. I want you to hold on to that truth, because it's real.

Whenever life pushes you down, don't remain there, rise again even if it's slowly, but when your strength feels drained as a result of it, rest but don't quit, because you have fought so many battle's to reach where you are today which is a testament of the virtue you carry and also an evidence that whatever remains ahead can surely be overcomed.

I want to remind you to believe in your story, believe that your struggles is shaping you into someone stronger, wiser and compassionate. You have to believe that one day, all the pieces you have put in place will come together and become a part of testimony that will surely lift others one day. Also remember that waking up, showing up and giving your best even when others do not see your efforts, is a proof of your strength, because no matter how small the step forward is, it's still progress.

You may feel like you're moving too slow, but remember forward is still forward, as healing takes time, success takes patience, so does growth requiring persistent. If you are one of them, I want you to know that you are not alone and your perseverance matters more than you think. The confusion, the loneliness and the pain will not last forever, because the only thing that lasts is the strength you develop in the process, the resilience that helps shape you as well
Don't give up, keep striving because the world still needs your light. That smile of yours, even through pain, encourages someone to keep fighting, your ability to endure even when unnoticed has alot of meaning. So don't worry too much ok, your breakthrough is closer than you think.

If you feel like you have had enough and want to surrender, don't surrender. Hang in there for just a little while because beyond the hardship, beyond the sleepless nights and the silent battles you have been fighting, there is hope, and that hope is waiting for you.
Your light is near, keep moving towards it and your breakthrough is assured.

I don't know who needs to hear this but remember, your light is very bright at the end of that tunnel. So keep fighting and believe in yourself and your purpose
