To The Girl Who Never Stopped Smiling
Katie Lynn Owen

I know it's hard sitting there, watching your world break into a hundred different pieces and there's nothing you can do about it. Trust me, I've been there a million times. You would imagine that feeling like this would cause you to look sad and gloomy, but you just continue on with a smile on your face. You refuse to be weak and want to be nothing less than strong. You face many issues alone, but would do anything to see someone else smile. You're the girl that would brighten some else's day, even if you can't brighten your own.

No matter what was crashing down in your life, you simply just put it aside. I know you wanted to give up over a million times. You've spent numerous nights crying yourself asleep and then woke up with a smile on your face the next morning as if nothing even happened. That right there takes MAJOR strength.

Because that's just who you are...the girl that never stopped smiling.

You're the girl who comes off to be so strong, but little does everyone know, you feel so weak at times. You know there are numerous people that would kill to see you fall and the last thing you want to do is give them the satisfaction. So you continue to smile. You smile just to keep the tears from falling and sleep just so you don't have to think about it.

You continue smiling for all the people that have ever doubted you. You smile because fully live by the phrase "you never know whose day you could change just by smiling."

She's hurt, mentally and emotionally. But everyday, she walks with a smile on her face because that's just who she is: the girl who never stopped smiling.

You're allowed to scream, you're allowed to cry, but don't ever give up.

" God is within her, she will not fall. God will help her at the break of day." Psalm 46:5.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
