pale lips and have a happy face. A woman who always smile even
if it hurts inside, also has no confidence to show who she really is.

exactly who I am, I just don’t have a courage to show myself
because of the bad experiences that I encountered in the past.

socializing, I felt that I need to look after myself and started to lose
weight to build up my confidence.
