How many times are grieving people are asked to lie, to match our faces to a socially acceptable smile, rather than wear a face that more closely matches our hearts ?

There’s nothing wrong with smiling when you actually feel like smiling. There’s nothing wrong with looking on the bright side when you feel like looking on the bright side. There’s nothing wrong with finding gratitude, shaking off some darkness, or finding the humor inside something.

There’s nothing wrong with it when you choose it for yourself. When it’s assigned to you, that’s where the problem lies.

Your life is yours.

Do whatever you want with your face.
