Have you ever assumed someone is beautiful or nice or happy JUST based on their presence and appearance? This is a representation of someone you know who is outwardly "perfect." But are they?

@TeresaM Thank you so much. I have been through such a crapstorm of unfortunate mishaps in my life and have thankfully pulled through. Looking back, I wanted to capture the image of who I used to be "behind the scenes" of the smiles and positivity I endlessly showed people in public. I am quite proud how this turned out, as I feel it really froze my emotions perfectly. I cannot say how proud I am that you recognize my message and are so supportive :) I hate saying tacky things like "thank you," but I really do appreciate your response and input :)
