Hey there, bright eyes!

Something is hidden behind that smile. What is hidden behind those eyes? I sense a conflict. Your eyes reveal something more. Hidden pain or maybe a secret? Well whatever it is, it is tucked away interwoven within your soul, shackled to your subconscious constantly lurking filled with oppression and resentment. There, it lies behind a wall of worry, buried in insecurities. You should know that the eyes don't lie. They are a monitor and are used to gauge the temperature of your heart the purity of your soul. Yes, something is hidden. And today it has surfaced and is on the verge of escape. You are trying to hide the burden; but, it longs to be free.

Your smile is bright. But the eyes don’t lie.

Only people who know you can see the real you. They hear the pain through your silence. They hear a faint “rescue me” in your laughter. They see the things others will never see. Others ignore or maybe just don’t have time for the complexity of your silent tears. How do you smile so bright and hide so well internal weeping eyes?

That smile is bright. But those eyes don’t lie.

Keep holding on to your balance. Your amazing inner self that fills the atmosphere with Love. The Love that conquers all can completely heal your soul. Beauty, love and Grace, you are amazing keep standing strong. Your determination is commendable and it is the reason you continue on. Hold on to Love. For, at the times you are weak, it is strong. It restores balance, heals hurts and boosts courage.

When redeemed, revitalize your bright smile match your bright eyes.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time.
