I try hard to avoid pictures, not photogenic or however you spell that.

It used to be “closed mouth, strained and uncomfortable” until my friends and I started a tradition: we exchange pictures almost daily, within our closed group. Someone posts the daily rule (“a picture of you relaxing/with a loved one/eating ice cream/in nature”), whoever responds first gets to pick the next day’s. It’s especially helpful right now, just a daily dose of fun and a way to stay connected.

The pictures aren’t shared with anyone outside of our group, so they don’t need to be anything special. Because it’s such low stakes and I’m actually having fun, I learned to smile naturally. My mouth is usually slightly open, and my eyes are smiling, too. It’s a big relief. I no longer hide from cameras.

Teeth. Farrah Fawcett smile so lots teeth.

You have to smile?

I usually have my mouth shut.

I think I look dorky when I smile unnaturally, so I don’t if I can help it.

Big cheesy teeth showing smile.

I got arrested once. Don’t wanna talk about it. My son bailed me out. He laughed at my mug shot because I smiled great big. Well shit. I had never been arrested before. They just stuck a camera in my face so I smiled, bigly. I didn’t know you were supposed to look all depressed.

I do closed mouth.

As a young girl usually no teeth. My mom told me to smile without teeth, because I hade buck teeth. After braces, usually with teeth, but not always.

I give the biggest smile I can
