I Learned How to Smile (and mean it)
by Trisha De Gracia
By losing and loving
living, forgiving
accepting
regretting
re-facing and retracing.
By holding on
and letting go
and picking up again.
By scribbling myself down on paper.
By finding joy in the dark
(with my eyes closed).
By dancing without music.
By learning how to listen.
