Dear Journal,
I've been taught to put on a happy face regardless of the circumstances. I've made masks a part of my daily attire. I present myself with confidence, but internally, I'm struggling. Externally, everything appears perfect - my husband's love and i have all the things I could ask for. Yet, I feel like I'm just going through the motions. I'm not sure how much longer I can keep this up. I know this can't last forever, and I'm terrified of the impact it will have on my marriage. Haven't I sacrificed enough? Please help me.
With tearful eyes,
Tina Cartwright
