A Frozen Smile

Too often I have found smiles to be like frozen ice cream. They only last when kept cold, and inevitably melt away with time.

I took this picture in a good mood...that is why I made the smily face. But my smiles did not last, as they never do. I am not attempting to make some large theological pessimistic statement, but rather convey a truth. One will never go their whole life smiling, even on the inside. I've found in the past that it takes a lot of work to keep myself smiling sometimes, but eventually my emotional freezer shuts down, and I just can't hold it anymore. Such is life...
