Behind my smile

Stacy Alvis

Behind my smile is a story you will never understand. Sometimes you fall apart even after you thought you had healed and moved on and that's OK. You are weak. Healing is different.

It is non-linear and it shouldn't come with a specific timeline. Sometimes you just have to turn the page to realize there is more to your book of life than the page you are stuck in. Stop being afraid to move on.

Close that chapter of hurt and never reread it. It's time to get what your life deserves and move on from things that don't deserve you. Don't try to fix what broke in your past let your future create something better.
