Photo taken by contributor Jacque who has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and ADHD. She is a graphic designer, wife, and mother to two boys. She is learning to draw from God’s strength to get her through every day. She has also found art and music to be great healers and outlets for the soul.

About this photo: “Sometimes the old phrase “fake it ’til you make it” seems to be the thing that pulls me through the day. Gotta put on a smile and pretend I’m OK, when underneath that’s not the case.

Had to take a breather today and found this guy smiling back at me as if to say, ‘It’s going to be OK.’”
