Include your whole life into six words. Believe me, it is not that hard. Six words story has become pretty popular now. You might have already heard some of them, like “Finally spoke to her. Left flowers.” “Siri, delete Mom from my contacts” “Introduced myself to mother again today”” I met my soulmate. She didn’t”.
See how powerful words could be.
If I have to write my six words story, it might be “Happy, or pretend to be happy.”
It’s probably not the precise one to describe my life, but at least that’s what I hope my life could be.
Life is not perfect. Like a road, it has many bends, ups and downs. No one could stay happy all the time, especially not me. To be frank, I am an easy target for emotion attacks.
If my life has been split into two parts: happy or not happy, and because I am too sensitive, I’m afraid that it’s the latter one that take the larger part.
I know what a crying face could lead to. It might stir many emotions from the others, and among them sympathy is the least and also the most useless one because sympathy from the others usually inspire more self-pities and self-doubts--the least you want in an unhappy situation.
Believe me, for most of time, pretending or acting helps. And sometimes if you try hard enough to pretend, you might even talk yourself into a false security and by that surprisingly you would feel better.

I can’t shrug it off by saying:” Don’t worry, things would be better” or “Take it easy, try to think more about your family.” Because I see the pains in their eyes, and the similar pains I feel deep inside my heart, perhaps on different scale, but still are the pains haunting there, refusing to go.
All I could do to deal with it is to think less about the consequences, worry less about the uncertain future, and focus more on the present. Pretend to be happy, act as if I don’t care, occupy my mind with something else.
Fake happy or happy, what’s the big difference? Besides, I always believe that the key step to be happy is to make peace with yourself. Tears won’t help to achieve that, but smiles would, even fake ones.
