Just because you're sad, just because your smile is twisted and you think your soul is broken, doesn't mean that people think any less of you.
Even if you don't feel strong on the inside, you could be someone's beacon of hope and you would never even know.
Most people are too afraid to speak up when it comes to the people they most admire, the people they love, trust.
They don't want to say anything because they'll feel foolish, or stupid, or maybe the person won't accept it, won't believe them.
But you should.
If someone ever tells you that that admire you, that they love you, believe it.
Because that takes a lot of guts, it takes a lot of feeling, it's taken a lot of thought.
And if you just shrug it off, pretend like nothing ever happened, well then that's your problem.
There's beauty in this world, there's beauty inside your soul, even if you don't believe it.
