What does your smile look like now? Can you reclaim that free-girl smile, or is it like virginity --- once you lose it, that's it?








This question came from a book I'm reading. Last night when I couldn't sleep I dragged out a few old photo albums. Spent a good hour looking through pictures of days gone by. And I saw something only my father has seen so far...a smile fading. I've lost that free spirited look. I'm trying to figure out how to get it back...;)
 
I dunno. Didn't you get in some smiles this weekend?
 
Always smiling

Morgaine

I was doing the same thing last night, I took out boxes of my pictures and I was going through them.

The thing I notice is that I am smiling in every single picture and my smile is way out there... I was happy when every single of those pictures was taken ... I seem to smile all the time. :)

I still have my free carefree throw caution to the wind live in the moment smile... :)
 
Sure I did. And I had a great time. But there are things hidden behind a smile. Behind one's eyes. There always are. And I can see it now. I can see the difference in pictures of myself. I just wondered if it was just me...Must be.

That's great hun, I like to hear that. :D
 
Actually, I used to be a big cheese ball. Big ol' cheesy smile plastered right on my face.

I'm much better now though. :)

Just don't take yourself to seriously, and that wild smile will return.
 
I've noticed the same. It seems my smile has severely faded. When I look at pictures of myself from the past 8 years my smile is less and less sincere. Like I force myself to smile now. I think once you've lost it, you've lost it for good.
 
I lost my smile for a while. But I have it back now. :) Our smiles do let others know a little something about us.

Don't say that...I am on a desperate search for my smile...I gottsta get it back...:eek:
 
It's the eyes, not the lips.

Ther's pain and walls there. They can come down again, I hope they do, becuase I've seen your eyes smile. And you are beautiful.

Wigglishious in shimmy! Nummy av babe.
 
I was going to post a similar thread today Morgy. I realized that I rarely smile anymore. Not that I don't have happy moments, but that big, carefree, childhood smile is gone.

I can't find a single picture from the past 5 years that I can't tell I'm forcing a smile.

I on the other hand smile a great deal...but no one sees behind that smile. To the the insecurity. The hurt. Its a mask so thers don't look too close, ask questions. I'm good at hiding now.
 
lilminx, I didn't mean to make you sad darlin, or anyone for that matter. It was something I recently read, and I noticed how true it was. That and hearing my father tell me my eyes look sad, that I have lost my spark. I have my pops eyes, his are audacious and so full of life. When he smiles, you can see it in his eyes as well. His whole face lights up. Almost like a childs. I look through old photos, during happier times. When I was more sure of myself, and I see his smile in my own. Carefree. Eyes are alive and you can almost read the wild thoughts behind them. The kind of smile, that you almost have to bite back on a laugh.

Yeah...I think you can get that smile back.;)
 
Morgy dear, I hope you find it. I'd like to see that sweet smile and know it goes all the way inside.
 
I know what you mean, Morgy.

There have been many times that I've caught a sudden glimpse of my face in a mirror...or seem myself frowning behind the wheel of the next commuter's car. It can really make you check your heart - do an inventory of your happiness. Usually I find, that I am taking my unhappiness too seriously.

I rummage around in the closet of memories. Find an old, happy thought, and the smile that somehow got mothballed. Then...I find someone to give it to.:D





if that doesn't work, then a good fuck is in order.;)
 
You are guys are the greatest.

Kind words and the last hour that I spent digging in the dirt in the rain, getting the earth under my nails, has left me in a fresh mood.

Thank You :kiss:
 
I'm glad you feel better, love. Like making love, it's hard to be happy if you know a friend is not.

I think that does give everything perspective...playing in dirt that is. I find the smells and sensations it allows as well as decompression time does a world of good. I need a sandbox:D

The sandbox theory wears off after a while. I need a bigger sandbox I think to dig in.
