What is a smile?

 Most of the people I've met find a smile as the sign of one's mental and emotional well being. In fact, even I used to believe so until a couple of months ago. But then I thought about it, taking my own self as an example. When I was depressed, I also used to smile. Did it mean I was okay and not hurt? No, I only smiled because I wanted to find positivity. So, just because a person is smiling, they can't be mentally unhealthy, this is a very common wrong notion that people tend to have.

Mental well being is just as important as physical well being. But people tend to ignore that. We should listen to them, just listen to them and tell them that we are there by their side and have their backs. 

People who are depressed tend to have a deeper meaning to life. They find symbols of the objects and the nature around them. They look for inspiration and hope, to remind themselves that their lives also matter. 

Also it is okay to not to be okay. We all are born different and unique.
