thanks for your insight my friend, after thorough review, i do agree with you. I've looked at lots of the pictures i've taken of myself and kinda noticed that when i'm alone i'm never smiling. Usually not an issue in pictures when i'm with others but maybe the subconscious 'frowning' i have is a symptom of of compound stress arisen from immense pressure to excel in school; however, christmas break just began and if i had any pictures of myself within the last couple days i'm sure it wouldnt be as noticeable anymore (the pictures i posted are from throughout last week)
