So, I was pretty much tormented throughout most of my childhood and teens about the details of my face by "not-so-kind" and/or tactless individuals. I have been well-informed that I have a really big head... an extremely long chin... a "unibrow" (which i have totally gotten under control since the 7th grade mass-murderous teasing occurred)... scowl-like brow... and a huge bottom lip that sticks out when i'm completely relaxed or upset about something, all things I was already more or less aware of.
I've also been told by many people that I often look angry (scowl-like brow) or that I have a "B---- face". I'm not gonna lie. It hurts. And the 7th grader in me sometimes wants to lash out with profane utterances. But what I really got to wondering about tonight is... Do people say this because they really are mesmerized by my (apparently) abrasive looks... or is it an unconscious, passive-aggresive way of telling me how I've affected them emotionally? Maybe I don't want or need an answer to this. Maybe you'll just be nice and not tell me what you're really thinking. Maybe the insomnia has taken over. And just maybe I won't even post this. Too late.
**The picture of me here in this post was candidly taken tonight at work by one of the girls while I texted another co-worker.

lady, i've never thought those things about your face. in the picture, you just look pensive to me.
i love your face. that is all.
yes, that is in fact my pensive look, also very similar to my "the sun's in my freaking eyes" look, which people confuse with my angry look. what can i say, i have a strong and kind of masculine brow line... it is what it is.
and thank you for your kind words. that means a lot coming from a bomb shell as yourself. now maybe you can share your laser hair removal doctor...nurse...person with me so i can get rid of the 'stache! pretty please?
This suprises me that anyone would say ever say crap about your face. I've always thought your face was gorgeous. And I'm not just saying that.
I have an abnormally large head. No one tells me that but I sure see it. Bigger than my husbands haha. But it's me so I should learn to love it.
I really like that candid picture by-the-way.
go to light touch in downtown slc! i have nicole work on my unsightly tufts of hair!
sah-weet, bek! imma have to check it out! thanks.
why are people so mean? I remember when I was in a high school a guy in seminary wrote that I "have frizzy hair" on a class valentine's card. Oh joy.
