Break the Matrix

Oh thanks so much Tyler! Such a considered and thoughtful reply.
I think it is precisely these concerns that have had me dragging my feet a little. And I feel much better now. It is incredible to me that your friends and family haven't noticed the changes. But then again I was thinking of how so many people look so different to their photos. A little while ago I met a bunch of people that I had only ever seen a little passport-like photo of, and I barely recognized them. I've also heard it said that some people who are incredibly beautiful/handsome in life photograph terribly and vice versa. I once saw a girl who I thought was extremely plain, she had makeup, hair and lighting applied as part of a fashion shoot, and became stunning. I remembered being stunned. It is something to do with the camera picking up bone structure in a way that the human eye doesn't privilege perhaps. Some people have theorized that when we talk to someone we see an animated face as attractive. Who knows though.

I do want to do this. I had terrible dental work done in my teens and they forced my teeth back. I don't have a lower jaw and my profile is very sunken. I have very large teeth and a very small jaw. It has also caused sinus problems and I'm beginning to think that my one leg shorter than the other is from the dental work.

I really think you look wonderful. And that is great your singing voice has more of a range. I'd love to sing. Can't at all!
