the life of zooey who happens to be Bipolar 2
Is that not the cutest….dang.
But you know…it’s ferking hard to smile sometimes. Bad moods, frustrations, physical pain, stress, anxiety and depression are examples where even keeping your face pleasant is sometimes not even doable. Smiles can be genuine. Smiles can be faked, to a certain degree. But the phrase, “Put on a ‘happy’ face,” along with that old and moldy song should be banned. No really, I mean it.
I am not going to tell you that smiling cures shit. It doesn’t. It never does. Smiling to ‘change your out look and pull-you-up-by-your-bootstraps’ is a load of shit. Plain and simple.
Smile if you can. Smile for another. And, with some luck, you can smile to yourself.
