![“[People say]'You're always happy' and I'm, like, sometimes I have a huge zit on my face. But if you smile, people won't notice that. I do have bad-hair days but if you feel confident in yourself it would make people want to be around you.” quote by Cheyenne Kimball](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/fcc/cheyenne-kimball-22357_always-happy_people-say-you-re-always-happy-and-i-m-l_279980.jpg)
