Smile




 

How about you wear a smile today?

I get it; your mind is crowded.
Twirling here and there like a whirlwind.

You’ve got bills to pay.
Deadlines to chase.
Relationships to nurture.
And a thousand little things pulling you in every possible direction.

It’s easy to get lost in the cycle of doing, constantly moving from one task to the next, rarely catching a breath. Your body keeps going, but your mind is overwhelmed. Your shoulders tense. Your heart races. Your peace? Nowhere to be found.

But just for a moment…
Pause.
Breathe.
And smile.

It may not magically erase the mountain of tasks in front of you.
It won’t cancel your bills or reschedule your meetings. No.

But it will do something small yet powerful:
✨ It will relax your nerves.
✨ It will soothe your mind.
✨ It might even help you see things a little more clearly; perhaps even uncover an easier way to navigate what’s ahead.

Smiling doesn’t mean ignoring your reality.
It means choosing to face it with a softer heart.
It’s a small act of rebellion against the weight of stress.

So today, let go of the tension, even if just for a breath.
Give your face a break from the frown.
Give your soul a second to breathe.
Give smile a chance.

To the Humans We Often Forget to Celebrate

There’s a group of people I’ve been thinking about lately. A group rarely applauded, barely acknowledged, yet they carry more than many of us can imagine. This post is for them. You're worth every single letter in this piece. I’ll admit that I’ve been tempted to think of you as more than human. To assume that you don’t feel pain the way the rest of us do. That, instead of blood, it’s some kind of pressurized gas that flows through your veins. That you were molded, not from the soft matter like the rest of us, but from gravel mixed with cement. So we assume you're strong. We assume strength, even when weakness is tattooed across your forehead. We assume resilience, even when your shoulders slump under the weight of silent burdens. We assume you can handle it, even when the pressure at work is squeezing the life out of you. We assume you’re the provider, even when you’re scraping the bottom of an empty cup. And somehow, you still manage to give. To show up. To keep going. Sometim...

Welcome to THE EXPRESSION

 This is THE EXPRESSION; a quiet space where thoughts breathe, feelings and words find their way without needing to impress or explain. I am The Expression Voice, and that's all you need to know for now. I'm not here to be seen. I'm here to be heard.  I created this blog because I needed a place to write without judgment; to process, reflect, and let the noise inside me take shape through words.  You won't find perfection here. what you will find is honesty, introspection, some lessons, some light, and maybe something that resonates with you. This is not a niche blog. It's not themed. It is expression,  unfiltered. If you're reading this, thank you. I don't know how you got here, but I'm glad you did.  Let's begin. ~ The Expression Voice

From Shame to Shape

 I got pregnant at the age of fifteen (no, don’t judge me). It felt like my world had come to an end. No place to stay, no home, no hope, no future. Just me, empty wishes, and regrets. One day, I decided to end it all; to leave this world. The thought of going to hell didn’t scare me; I was already used to the heat of hell on Earth. I wasn’t thinking about what people would say either, because I had already heard enough side talks and blame. I wasn’t sure if I’d find peace afterwards, but I knew I wasn’t ready to endure the turmoil any longer. So I set out, walking through bush tracks where no one could trail me or uncover my mission. As I walked along the lonely paths, I heard only the whispers of the east wind playing love-dovey with the blades of Elephant grass. Well, I hadn’t experienced love, so I wasn’t jealous. Deeper into the bush, the birds chirped beautiful melodies, and the trees swayed in their glory. It was a beautiful sight; but me? My glory was long gone, and beauty ...
