Some smiles aren't signs that someone is okay.

They're signs they've practiced hiding how they really feel.

Kyu-kurarin by Iyowa captures the exhausting experience of pretending everything is fine while quietly falling apart. One lyric in particular stopped me in my tracks:

"You have to laugh properly."

Maybe healing doesn't begin when you learn to smile better.
Maybe it begins when someone finally sees the smile you don't have to fake.
