#  The truth is.. Shes hurting inside, you just dont see it…

![“The truth is.. Shes hurting inside, you just dont see it because she hides her pain so well.. in front of the people around her she smiles, she acts like shes okay even though in her mind she knows shes not. Sometimes its hard for her to put what she feels into words, its hard for her to ask her…” quote by Stiles Bell](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/eb4/stiles-bell-110817_hurting_the-truth-is-shes-hurting-inside-you-jus_2696093.jpg)   [Download](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/eb4/stiles-bell-110817_hurting_the-truth-is-shes-hurting-inside-you-jus_2696093.jpg) [Open image](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/eb4/stiles-bell-110817_hurting_the-truth-is-shes-hurting-inside-you-jus_2696093.jpg)

> “The truth is.. Shes hurting inside, you just dont see it because she hides her pain so well.. in front of the people around her she smiles, she acts like shes okay even though in her mind she knows shes not. Sometimes its hard for her to put what she feels into words, its hard for her to ask her help because she hates feeling weak, she hates how she feels but she cant help it, she wonders if itll ever get better for her, she hopes one day this pain will go away.. one day shell be able to smile, but until then she holds it inside..”
