There was a girl who always smiled like everything in her life was perfectly fine. People around her thought she was strong, cheerful, and good at handling things calmly. But no one really knew how heavy her heart had become.
Every day felt exhausting for her. Whenever she tried to fix one problem, another one would appear in front of her as if life never wanted to let her rest peacefully. She slowly started feeling tired of pretending that she was okay all the time.
Some nights, she wanted to cry so badly, but even tears refused to come out. She would just sit quietly, staring at the ceiling while her chest felt tight, almost like she couldn’t breathe properly under the weight of her thoughts.
She stopped talking about her feelings because she felt like no one would truly understand what was happening inside her mind. So instead, she carried everything alone while still forcing herself to smile in front of others.
The saddest part was that she still kept trying. Even when life exhausted her, even when her heart felt tired, she still woke up every day hoping maybe tomorrow would feel a little lighter.
