It’s been said that our eyes are the windows to our souls. I believe that.
I saw a picture tonight, of a girl I don’t know, and this thought went through my head:
There are some people, who even though they are smiling in every picture, and even if their smile is perfect, you can still see sadness in their eyes.
Have you seen this before? Has this ever been you?
My next thought was: These are the people I want to meet. I want them to know they don’t need to wear a smiling mask. I want them to know they are not alone. And I want to give them a picture of hope so strong that they can smile – not only with their whole face, but with their whole lives.
I don’t think we ever really know what’s going on in other people’s lives, but I feel like if we take the take the time to really look one another in the eye, we might see a lot of people who need that same message.
Thank you for sharing these beautiful thoughts so well. I agree with you completely. I also see many smiling faces with hurting / sad eyes, and attempt to find out more by chatting with them and making suggestions when possible. God Bless You Abundantly.
I love this Rachel. This really hits home with me, especially my younger years. Thank you for sharing!
