With this image I wanted to express this quite common feeling. When one tries very hard, puts so much time and effort into something that one thinks is important and special, but the most important people don't appreciate it in the slightest, instead criticizing everything. And they might mean well, but their words hurt and bring the person down. And the one tryies to keep it together, and shakily manages to pull a smile when someone asks if they are alright

- Yes, Of course. Thank You.

Because what else could be said?
