Cover art for Smilin' lyrics by Pascale Picard

This song feels like my life. When you have so many things going on in your life, so many pressures that it overwhelms you and you just feel like you're going to fall apart over the weight of it all. Specifically for me, it relates to school and everything else around it. When you struggle with the things in your life, you start to envy the time when life was so simple. You just want that little girl, with no cares in the world, who is happy for no reason, to realize how good she has it and you want her to hold on to it because so often we don't even realize how good we have it until it's gone.
