CONTEST: A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words - 10/22/2021 @eivor22
At first glance, you will think that the woman in the picture is delighted. However, when you look deep through her eyes, there is some kind of pain that she can't express. A pain that she just hides through her angelic smile. Perhaps, she needs to do that to encourage herself not to give up in life or not to totally feel down.
There are really some people who want to keep what they feel instead of letting everyone know because if they do, they feel more hurt. They want to deal with what they feel alone, for they don't want to be someone else's burden. They try to fix what's broken by themselves, and this somehow can make them stronger than they used to be.
Sadness behind the smile.
Thank you for your entry.
P.s. the tag is: #pic1000 not epic1000
