Three echoes to a new dawn.
<p>One thing this past year taught me</p><p>is the beauty in my smile.</p><p><br/></p><p>Not because life suddenly became easy,</p><p>but because I discovered</p><p>that my smile was never proof</p><p>of a painless life.</p><p><br/></p><p>It was proof of survival.</p><p><br/></p><p>It bloomed after disappointments</p><p>that could have made me bitter,</p><p>after tears that no one applauded,</p><p>after days I questioned</p><p>whether hope still remembered my name.</p><p><br/></p><p>Yet somehow,</p><p>my lips still found the courage</p><p>to curve toward the light.</p><p><br/></p><p>This year taught me</p><p>that my smile is not a mask.</p><p><br/></p><p>It is a quiet rebellion.</p><p><br/></p><p>A gentle declaration</p><p>that pain may visit,</p><p>but it does not get to stay forever.</p><p><br/></p><p>So if you see me smiling,</p><p>know that you are witnessing</p><p>more than happiness.</p><p><br/></p><p>You are witnessing</p><p>every battle</p><p>that failed</p><p>to erase the light within me.</p><p><br/></p><p>And I think.</p><p><br/></p><p>that's the most beautiful thing</p><p>about me.</p><p><br/></p><p>Lumi Echoes🦋🖤</p>
