When I lived on Venice Beach my nickname was “Smiley” because I smiled at everyone
When I lived in Luxembourg I was not understood because I smiled at everyone
When I was a child my mother made a game of smiling and when she saw someone unhappy on the street or in their car she would smile at them until they finally smiled back and only rarely did her efforts fail
I have been considered shallow by those who never knew me because I smile at everyone
but those people have no clue how much inner strength those smiles represent
