I love the way you wrote this :) I feel like I can really relate. I never really thought about how much or how little I smile in public, and I realized that my smiles are generally reserved for pictures.... Great job!!
It took me by surprise to make a similar observation about myself as well...this contest was an exercise in humility - it made me realize I'm not in other's eyes what i am in my own. I'm really happy you liked this piece!
