August 03, 2021 Resting B**** Face
Have you ever been told that that you just need to smile more? Have you ever been told that you have RBF? Join Jeni on her rant about being told to just smile or being told that you have to say everything is great. It gets very tiring to just pretend that everything is okay. We are constantly taught in life to pretend that everything is great and everything is fine. That is very frustrating. Hope you enjoy Jeni's little rant (LOL)
