Just because my eyes don't tear doesn't mean my heart doesn't cry. Just because I come out strong doesn't mean there's nothing wrong. Often, I choose to pretend I'm happy so I don't have to explain myself to people who'll never understand. Smiling has always been easier than explaining why I'm sad.
Found that quote somewhere and I must say, I can totally relate to it. And it brings back a particular high school memory. 4th year farewell party. Everyone was asked to describe someone. A classmate described me as 'nakakatakot kasi laging nakangiti so hindi mo alam kung malungkot ba siya or galit siya or talagang masaya lang siya lagi.' I didn't know that sort of thing could be scary. Is it? And I don't know if people still see me that way.
