Behind My Smiles

Write about a time when you had to pretend to be happy, but you were hurting inside.

Often, we mask our true feelings from the world to conform to societal norms. This prompt invites you to share a particular instance when you felt compelled to hide your pain behind a smile and your journey through that period. This could lead you to understand your emotional resilience, and might even enable you to acknowledge, accept, and heal from that concealed pain.
