I remember when I was a little bit younger than now. Then people used to think I was always joyful, and playful, and that I laughed a lot, some testified that I never get angry. Little did they know that underneath the smiles and playfulness was this much pain that I bore, even the people around me did not know this. This continued for a while, for some years, until I just stopped. I had had enough of my life I just wanted to be myself and be the way I feel with the people around me. Doing this helped me realize my true friends even though I lost so many friendships, but now when I laugh play, and smile and I turn to look at those around me and they see me smile I know that they know why I'm smiling and I'm happy for that feeling.
Thank you @olawalium for sharing this wonderful piece, I pray people to come to appreciate those they have around them, real friends are gifts from God.
Thank you for sharing this too. Indeed, when people see someone lively and fun, they think you have never suffered anything in life. It's normal for people to assume by judging on face value.
