Happiness Quote by Anonymous
“Just because my eyes don't tear doesn't mean my heart doesn't cry.. and 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 will never understand.. smiling has always been easier than explaining why I'm sad..”
