Beneath the Smile

This piece holds the concept of putting on a brave face for the world, even when inside you are struggling.
Smiling and laughter is proven to help you feel happier, a way of manifesting positive emotions.

However, it is important to balance this positive influence of putting on this front with allowing yourself to acknowledge your feelings, both to yourself and sharing them with those close to you.

This brave face we put on happens in so many situations - during break-ups, losing a job, grieving. Finding the strength to process our inner emotions can be tough but so important.
