I forgot to post this, but I just remembered. Here goes…

A regular customer came by and I helped her as usual. While I was helping her, she commented on how I’m always so happy and smiling. I just smiled and kind of laughed it off. She kept pushing it though, asking my fellow co-worker if I’m always “happy & smiling” and he just chuckled and said “Yeah, he’s always cheerful”. After I finished helping her, I smiled back at her and said “thank you” like I always do towards all customers. She left saying that I was “handsome”. I said “thank you” again as I blushed. But I didn’t take that compliment whatsoever. All I could think about was how she commented on how “happy” I look. Which is so very far from the truth… I hide behind a smile to mask the pain and sorrow of my ♥~
