It's easier to fake a smile rather than explaining why you're sad because everyone is still healing from all the things they don't talk about.
Some people experienced so much pain on a daily basis that they've come to terms with the phrase "I'm used to it."
Some people are still concerned about the passage of time, believing that they are being left behind and that they are growing older without making any progress toward achieving this or that.
Others are still looking for a sign if they should leave their job and seek new opportunities.
Some people are still battling their silent battles, and their loved ones are completely unaware of it.
But that's life; pain is inevitable. Every success story is punctuated by lines of struggle and bruises.
One day, you'll wake up and be able to tell your story to someone without crying, and you'll know without a doubt that you've been healed.
— Abdullah.
A story doesn't exist unless it's Told.
