Descriptive Essay On Smile

Decent Essays
Smile The first thing my eyes are drawn to in the picture above is my half attempt at a somewhat real smile, there was also no enthusiasm in my eyes or emotion in my face. There is something to be said for a real smile versus a forced one. When someone fakes their smile, the happiness is not true. This forced smile seen in my family picture described my life at this time. I was trying to make everyone else happy even if it meant I wasn’t genuinely happy.

He chooses not to recognize the shift but I know he feels it when he asks me, “Why don’t you want to be here at my house anymore” When in reality it was all of the arguing that made me so irritated with him. At one point it got so bad that I packed a bag and just didn’t come back. I constantly contemplate living with my mom for 90% of the the time, I would have gone through with this if it weren’t for my brother. I never want to loose my relationship with my brother so I endure the guilt and tension all for a two year old little boy who will probably tell me he hates me at some point in his

My grandmother always told me “it’s not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters.” In order to change the direction of your retaliation to things you have to know yourself and be able to effectively articulate yourself.
