It's hard
Man, this confidence thing is hard.
Man, this holding your head held high thing is hard.
Man, this walk with your shoulders straight thing is hard.
Man, this fake-it-until-you-make-it "thing" is hard.
Man, this whole being happy thing is hard.
But you know what's not hard?
Faking a smile.
All you have to do is smile and people automatically assume you're happy.
People make it look easy.
But truthfully, it's hard. -J.S.
