The gift of a smile :)

Lately, my smile has been brought to my attention. People have been commenting in it. My smile seems to be many people's favorite thing about me....
I've been told I look very serious, intimidating and even sad when I don't smile. When someone sees me without a smile their perception is that I am a snob, a mean person and even a b*tch. And when my smile appears, their perception immediately changes. Funny, huh? Looking at pictures of me smiling and not smiling, I see there is a stark contrast between the two. It is, to me, quite drastic! I find it to be amazing that my internal world is very black/white, good/bad without much gray and my outside reflects that so vividly too. Interesting...
