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".

You have a gorgeous, genuine smile that I've never seen you without!
ReplyDeleteThanks Candace! I miss you. Hope California is treating you well!
DeleteI'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.
ReplyDeleteThat said, you look beautiful and you have a gorgeous smile! :]

ReplyDeletelove your smile, Kara!!
Thanks Doris! I'm officially following your blog now :) Keep on blogging girlfriend!
DeleteI love that outfit. Your dress is beautiful <3
ReplyDelete:(. 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.

I'm going through a really tough time to Kara...
ReplyDeleteI 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
