Behind These Brown Eyes

 


 
To be honest, I try really hard to be happy or look happy. And for the most part, I am. But right now, I'm at a low point in my life... again. I really wish I wasn't (but I have no control over this one). Behind these brown eyes, I'm trying to stay strong and hold back my tears. Honestly, I don't think I'm strong enough
 
Today, I just want to be someone who is happy. For some reason, getting ready and looking my best makes me feel better about myself. I feel confident and beautiful. So if spending more time in the morning will make me happy, well that's what I'm going to do.

In the words of Plato: "be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle".

  2. I've always been told, if you're not happy, fake it until you make it. I honestly believe that happiness takes effort, it doesn't just happen.
    That said, you look beautiful and you have a gorgeous smile! :]

  5. :(. I hope today is a better day! Keep your head up. Life goes in stages and sometimes we're up, sometimes we're down. If you need to treat yourself to a little "cheer me up", go for it! Starbucks or a manicure can work wonders for me when I'm having a particularly bad day.

  12. I'm going through a really tough time to Kara...
    I had a post about trying to look happy in all your pics on Facebook to create a avatar identity..
    Hang in there...I always believe that time will prove everything at the end, and everything will work out just fine.
    Also, I know your friend, Dylan :P My sister lives in Seattle too. Hopefully we can connect one day <3
