*Childhood is one of the realest phases in human life… it is the period where we don’t need to wear any mask. Children like who they like and dislike who they dislike, no pretending…* ![](https://i.ecency.com/DQma8VZg1pnoVGj3j71r8v7jwSx1T8FaEEATZ74BEWNADAr/image.png) [source](https://pixabay.com/vectors/mask-fake-smile-hidden-emotions-10190173/) *When they are sad, they show their emotions without fear of being criticized, and when they are happy, they never fail to express it either. Truly one of the purest moments in life…* *Adulthood is stressful, full of responsibilities, pressure, and hidden sadness. Many adults, especially those whose lives are not going the way they hoped, are tired… but they keep pushing because as long as there is life, there is hope.* *Being poor is one problem, heartbreak from an unfaithful partner is another, yet people still come out smiling every day. Sometimes you may think nobody has problems because of the smiles you see, but if you truly hear what many people are going through, you will be shocked at how they still manage to keep a smiling face…* *Why do many people prefer keeping their problems to themselves instead of looking like what they are going through?* ![](https://i.ecency.com/DQmU7zV1mrgpg2j8bxaEmSVtPVrRCTUxLCtcPLCE3xoyTDZ/image.png) [source](https://pixabay.com/photos/botswana-indigenous-culture-buschman-2219379/) *It is simple… sharing your problems with people who also have their own problems does not always solve anything.* *Sometimes, after opening up, the reply you get is: “What I am going through is worse than yours.”* *And at that moment, you realize everyone is silently fighting their own battles…* *So many people choose to hide their pain behind smiles and figure things out on their own. Not because they are strong, but because life has taught them that nobody will fight their battles for them.* *At the end of the day, you either stand up and find a way to survive your problems… or you drown in them silently while the world keeps moving.*
