I see not only sadness hidden by the smile, but also rage, desire, and a little of madness too...the colors are too strong to mean only sadness...

It's rare that it's only one feeling that dwells inside the heart of an individual

A Painted on face.
This is honestly breathtaking, the reality of the photo, the words per ink and it paints a story in my mind
A story about a depressed woman painting on a fragile yet truly broken smile, it reminds me of me.
In other words congrats on your daily dev you earned it

Really like the choice of colors, they give great contrast and the black shades are really strong in your artwork. The bandage with a smile fits very well with the title, too
Great artwork, it's has a lot of emotion and congrats on the DD!

This picture looks like I often feel... I'm someone who always acts and tries hard to be optimistic, upbeat, and positive, cheerfully doing my job, singing to myself, telling people everything's fine, smiling all the time, and laughing at all sorts of silly little things... but inside I'm crying and feeling frustrated and depressed and discouraged with the way life just doesn't seem to work out right at all for me.. Sometimes I laugh to keep from crying, sometimes I hold it back so long that I can't hold it back any longer and cry because they ran out of my favorite salad dressing or told me to clock out and go home for work an hour early (I get paid by the hour)... I've always had to be the strong one and keep everyone else happy, I've always had to keep pressing on even when I didn't feel like I could just because I had to. I've been going to work at McDonald's cleaning the lobby, restocking the drink-station, and cooking the fries, even when I had a toothache cuz I couldn't afford the dentist without my paychecks, and even with a broken toe cuz I needed the money for the doctor... and now Christmas is coming and I'm trying to be merry and festive for the people who come in.. but it's hard because this year I won't be seeing my fiance and his family at Christmas, because a corrupt and crooked pastor forced him to do a fake break-up with me so his mom who works for the pastor could keep her job! That's just wicked, that's evil! hanging his mother's job over his head just to get rid of me because he doesn't like me! Now he can't marry me and get together with me until he gets in the Navy and he can't get in until he gets his blood pressure down and it's taking forever to get low enough!!! sorry for the long comment I needed that vent...

I know the feeling, our society today is abit fucked up considering it's forcing these types of behaviours onto its citizens :/Β
And It's alright

Yeah... it's pretty messed up when you don't have the money to buy insurance and have to work a year before you qualify and need it now so you have to work through pain. It's also messed up not being able to go to collage and collect food-stamps at the same time unless you work 20 hours a week, but you either can't get that many hours or make too much to qualify if you do. I also hope so. It's said that in a world where people can accept a black man marrying a white woman, or 2 men getting married or 2 women getting married my fiance gets stuck with a pastor so bigoted he won't let a strait, white couple get married if he thinks one of them is too outspoken and prone to asking questions and wants to put her own needs and ambitions ahead of tithing. Persecuting anyone is wrong, but this guy doesn't discriminate, he just hates everyone unless they give him money or slave labor. I really hope things work out soon.

He sounds like a really messed up person oO Surprised he's even allowed to stay a pastor .__.

Me too, but what can anyone do? He owns his church and he's at the top to the totem poll...

I think what really shakes my faith sometimes, is when bad things happen to good innocent people who surround the bad people. Just a few days ago a really nice, kind, friendly guy who works as an usher in the church had a heart attack! I'm glad he's still alive and recovering, but why that kind, little man and not the mean selfish pastor who weighs over 400 pounds and eats hamburgers like a caterpillar eats leaves? Also, why does my fiance's sister who slept around with a bunch of guys, lied about it, and said mean hurtful and insulting things without apologizing during communion (when she was told not to take communion without getting right with those she wronged) get a new car, a nice house, and a wedding while my fiance and his mom drive old beat-up junkers, and he doesn't have a place of his own or job and she's stuck in the same dead-end job? How come the people who are trying to do right suffer and the ones that are living messed up lives prosper? Sometimes I just want to tell God: Hey, if your trying to get to them through the people that they are supposed to care about... STOP! Their heads are too high up in the clouds to see the good and humble people down here beneath them! You need to knock them back down to earth 1st so they can see the havoc they've wrought! Please steer them into a tree branch or a low hanging bridge so they can finally fall off of their high horses and hit the ground God.

I know this known question: "How are you?"
And this known answer: "I'm fine."
This answer can't really tell how a person actually feel because it's hidden deeply.
And I kinda see it on this picture, too.
Well chosen with the colors bringing the emotions.
Congrats for the DD feature fellow member!

Hidden sides are everywhere. So many bullies are crumbling inside; so many of the slated are free; vast numbers of the insane speak sense.
