They see me as a soft girl,
The one with joy in her eyes,
And they think to end up this happy,
Troubles must have been out of my sight,
But this is not true,
Because like everyone,
I have had my share of blues,
And the reason I now smile so bright,
Is because I have paid it's price;
I have known sadness,
Just like the rest of you,
But I choose to look past that;
I don't carry that burden on my back,
I left it just where I found it,
And that's what sets us apart.
I have grown with tears and pain,
While walking through the life's hurricane,
So, let them see me as they do,
As a soft girl with sparkle in her eyes,
Because there lives a warrior inside.

The Emancipation (I Get From Love) of Angie (12/30)
On this very day, nineteen years ago
The artist of my life, Mariah Carey
released what many consider her comeback album
The Emancipation of Mimi
on the very same day my best friend and twin flame, Angela Giaimo
became emancipated from childhood.
I have never been very spiritual.
I'm not Ace of Base; I struggle to see the signs.
And I'm unsure what I believe about this universe
but here are some things I know coincide:
Mariah Carey and Angela Giaimo are both Aries.
Neither Mariah Carey nor Angela Giaimo have middle names.
Mariah became my favorite artist primarily because of lyrics
and Angela and I first bonded over us both being lyrics girlies.
Like Mariah, Angela is an amazing writer and musically inclined.
I tried to get my ex-best friend that I nicknamed "MiMi" to use
The Emancipation of Mimi as the theme for her 18th birthday,
just two months after Angela's 18th.
That same ex-best friend betrayed Angela,
and her treachery brought Angela and I closer
because I was on her side, the correct side.
I never knew Mariah's album came out on Angela's birthday until today,
the number of years later that is the same as my favorite number.
When it comes to Angela,
It has never been a question that our connection is inherent.
I would not scoff at the concept of it being ancestral and supernatural.
And while I have no mystical gifts that will tell me she is pregnant
the way her brujería informed her of Saviour's impending arrival,
I can sense that it's by more than chance that she's tattooed on my spirit.
And why I love Angela Giaimo with my whole soul,
even more than I love Mariah Carey.

Sometimes, the most powerful stories are the ones that go untold. 'The Truth Behind A Smile' is a courageous exploration of the things we hide from others and ourselves, and a reminder that we are all human, flawed, and beautiful in our imperfection.

He broke my heart,
Leaving me in pieces;
Now I am just a jigsaw puzzle,
Waiting for someone,
To assemble it back in place.
