Look strong on the outside, it makes you more attractive.
I was sitting down outside one day receiving some fresh air, when someone walked up to me and said, you don't seem to have any worries whatsoever, I always see you smiling and another person quickly answered, she has no problem whatsoever she is always happy and smiling.
I smiled the more as I thought about my current condition at that moment, at the moment when those words were spoken, I was financially down, emotionally broken but the reason why I was smiling is one thing I cannot even explain.
That day I realized that it is essential and necessary not to wear a sad face no matter what happens to you.
I felt proud of myself that day, that I could be inwardly broken and still look strong.
On countless occasions, I have had people come to me to explain what they are going through at that point and how they needed encouragement, I will try all I can to make them smile and then get back to my room secretly to cry because I was even going through a worse condition than the people who came to me to cry.
I remember how people will also come to meet me back in school to ask me for food when I myself had nothing to eat, explaining sometimes is usually a little bit difficult until I show them how empty my cupboard looks.
I have also learnt that people always want to know if you are still doing good, they always want to get a reason to make you a laughing stock.
Ensure not to give room to people who are ready to make you a laughing stock.
Remember to always look strong, beautiful and confident.

I was feeling very depressed one day and I just said "F... IT!", if i cant think or feel my way out out this depression Ill just fake a smile. Within minutes i started feeling better so i kept doing it and within an hour is started laughing for no reason other than i was smiling for no reason. I felt genuinely happy. I was blown away by what happened.
