Smiling helps but it can hurt too. Because everyone thinks that I am fine when I'm not. But at the same time I don't have to explain anything.
I try every day to remember the good things in my life, to not take them for granted. If I look back to all the things that were good in my life before anything happen, I'd notice that I was not gratefully because now its so much harder to notice them.
Another has gone by but I don't want it to be just another day, I want it to be the day I was granted to have.

It's ok.
It's ok not to be ok. It's ok to smile so you don't have to explain your pain. It's ok to take a break from being grateful for the good things in your life. The good things are great but it doesn't mean that you have no right to grieve the bad things - they need their time too.
Thinking of you.
