A little EYE-OPENING π weekend engagement? Let's do it!!!π
I've been writing every day this week, and I was looking for something to write on the weekend! What popped into my head? @galenkp's #WeekendExperience community! I headed to πhis postπ and found a ton of fun prompts!!! It was actually hard to pick just one, because they all seemed great! But here is the one I ran with! Hope you enjoy! (Why not join in for some fun this weekend??)π
My best physical feature:
From what I've been told, this would be my smile. When I've thought about it and analyzed why people think my smile is so nice, I think it's actually a comparison/contrast with the way my face normally looks. HAHAHAHA No - I dont' have a resting bitch face! LOL But, I do have a mouth that naturally turns down - so when I'm just looking "normal", it seems like I'm frowning. I have a really happy personality and smile easily, so when I have a reason - any reason - to smile, I think it's such a stark contrast to my natural frown - that it seems to be something that lights up!
So I'm not sure if my smile is that sunshiney? or... if it's just like flipping a sad to happy switch that surprises people so quickly!
I really don't know! But, I'll just say because most people have told me that my smile is the thing that stands out, I'll go with that as my best physical feature.
Now, you might think ok then - you've done the task, Dreem! Carry on, now! But....
I want to talk about my most controversial feature now, as a bonus! LOL
What makes it my most controversial feature?
Most people find this feature interesting, or even pretty.
I do not. I have never liked this feature. I think it's boring, below average, not special, and.. up until recently, I have gone so far as to say this feature was downright ugly.
In order to CHANGE this feature, I've actually CONSIDERED some pretty crazy options! There is a really cool laser technique called STROMA that will use a laser to permanently destroy the melanocytes to affect the color of this feature! I know I know... I've already heard how crazy I am for considering this... don't worry, I've had to promise I won't do this. LOL
Another option is to do an implant... that adds in a piece of flexible plastic under the lens to cover your iris. Yes, Yes. I've heard this is actually a dangerous procedure, so I don't even want this lol
But then, a very inexpensive alternative!!!! And one that I had a lot of fun trying these on to change this feature of mine!!!
BLACK-COLORED EYES
Yep, they are so dark, you can't even see the pupil. It is just like one giant black marble. I have heard lots of lovely things about them. That they look like sparkling candies. hehe That they're like galaxy eyes. That they're so deep you can get lost in them. That they're warm. But, to me, nope. I would love warm amber eyes. chocolate brown eyes. hazel. green. blue. grey - ANYTHING but these boring, dead, shark eyes. blech. LOLOLOL
I recently found an article that was talking about all the different kinds of eye color, and apparently my eyes are not called boring "black". They are actually called "mirrored" and are very rare. Ok.... ok maybe THAT sounded a little cool. Especially, when they talked about the fact THAT they were black allowed everything to be reflected so nicely like mirrors!
Alright... that DID sound a little cool! hehehe
But... I was still WANTING new eyes! hahaha. Let me just state this - for a 46 year old woman, I have amazing eyesight. My vision is 15/20. I haven't needed glasses (though I do wear blue-light glasses hehe) and perhaps because they are so dark, that has protected them from radiation from the sun and kept the vision intact? My gorgeous daughter with her icy green eyes struggles horribly with sunlight because of their lightness. She also needs to wear glasses, as well as my husband with his blue eyes, and my oldest son with his olive green eyes. So? Believe me, I am very pleased and proud of their function! But my vanity still begs for something prettier! hehehe so.... take a look at these options LOLOLOL
a bright grey
a solar grey
a deeper blue grey
a golden option (similar to the light grey)
They are fun to wear! and a lot less expensive than surgery or implants! hehehe And - they are impermanent and safe to play around with! Plus, one I'm finished having fun, my family can still see me the way they know me. (They told me they would really miss my eyes, so... I guess I'm stuck with them for a while. hehehe)
ENOUGH ABOUT YOUR EYE COLOR...
Now the rest of the prompt is not as fun as trying on colored contact lenses! hehe But it's just as informative about who I am! so let's share!!
I need to share two of my best personality traits and this? This is super easy! Both of them have to do with communication, and I think make me not only an effective communicator but a good friend and counselor for people!
- I love truly understanding people.
- I can sense emotions that are below the surface.
When I'm talking to someone, I look in their eyes. Maybe another gift of my "boring" eyes is their ability to SEE. I don't just see what people show me, but I see a lot more that's there. I use all that I see along with what I hear to truly try to understand the core of a person.
I think that a lot of people feel safe with me, and feel like they can share more with me than with others. I see this as a huge privilege, and treasure their hearts inside my own. People matter to me, and I always hope that is evident in the way that I speak and act.
I hope you had fun with me on this post! I'd love to hear which of the contact lenses you liked - if at all! hehehe And if you are like my family and prefer my dark eyes - that's ok too! hehehe
This post was a lot of fun! π But I have to say, I love your dark eyes! You are beautiful! π And you have a smile worth a million dollars.π And more than that! I think we are the most beautiful just the way we are naturally...
hehehe did my family pay you to say that??? LOL they will be happy to know that someone is in their corner LOLOL
thank you sincerely - for the kind comment!!! and yes, you know, deep down I have to agree with you. Even though I would DIE for those blue eyes - I'm just the way God made me! hehehe

β₯οΈπͺπ
It's been a while since you've posted in my community; thanks for supporting the #weekend-engagement concept this week.
hehehe yes - I was challenged to write every day this week - and that is a LOT for me!!! but your community was the perfect one to finish off my week!!! hehehe
and I might have that challenge again this coming week and if so - i'll certainly be back for the finale with you! :)
Fair enough. I tend to feel it's better to write when one feels like it rather than when someone else challenges a person to do so, it comes across as more genuine and is more fun, don't you think?
hehe I would normally say yes - but I had gotten out of the habit of writing with being so focused on DreemPort and all the daily things there - that this challenge actually reminded me how much fun writing is!!!
so i think it ended up being the nudge I needed and I wrote some really clever stories this week!!! LOL and my post about my eyes - that one has been waiting in the wings forever!!! Your prompt resonated with me as soon as I saw it (though the alien one also did - cuz I'm reading a story about aliens now hehehe and the time capsule also tugged on my brain! LOL)
I wrote the alien one to (hopefully) get some good ideas for when I go back to my planet and report. I've not really paid attention so I had to come up with something so I didn't get in trouble and my two asses kicked. That's right, on my planet everyone has two asses...so, what of it!
hahahahahahahahahah!!!!!!!!! I mean... better to have two asses than none??? ROFLLLLLLLL
well have there been many people who've chosen that one??? LOL or are you getting prepared for two kicks! lol
There's a planet, one not too far from my own, where they have no ass. Their mouths are used for both in and out holes...Believe it or not. Fortunately, that planet is down-wind of mine.
It's called Noasslia but don't bother going there for a visit, they all talk shit on that planet.
and I bet their breath smells all the time too!!! lololl
and sad to say, it sounds a little like my own planet. people talk shit here too often π€£π€£π€£
Yeah, there's a lot of shit talkers on Earth. One day humans will be chin deep in shit...and only have themselves to blame.
if we arent there already... kinda feels like the rip tide is taking us out to sea.
Well, I actually think we're well on the way to being there, but we're not there yet, as shit as people can be. The fall is yet to come, but it's coming. Some prepare for it, some are ready, but most will fall into the abyss they helped create. People's priorities are wrong, skewed, and they don't see it...in fact, they embrace it as legit. But it's not legit, it's leshit.
lol i'm gonna steal that last one!!!! LOLOL
I like to make up words and that's one of my best (in my humble opinion.) I say legit a lot, it's one of my go-to words...So, I needed an opposite.
it works!!! you need to copyright it And put it on tshirts hahahaha
I agree with that smile.... You are prettier when smiling..so natural..
But hey, I don't used to stare at someone's eyes. I find it uncomfortable π ..
!PIZZA
many people find looking into they eyes to be very intense... but that's because you can see the soul! hehehe
it's something to learn to appreciate because.once you start to see more of the person there...it becomes like another sense to refine hehehe
I gifted $PIZZA slices here:

I almost wish I have black eyes. I know someone like that. They are not just black but big and round. He looks like a doll. Whenever we meet (which is rare as he travels for work) I get lost in those whirlpools. They are so enchanting. Yours is no different. I remember when I first saw your picture on-chain or a video. One that you showed me. I got carried away. It was the best thing I'd seen in a while.
And your ability to see through someone, even when you haven't met them, is a bit unnerving. But that is what makes you special and different. You are patient and give the best of your time to people no matter who they areπ. It is admirable.
P.S, You with the gray look like a vampire. I love it!π
hehehe yes I have been also told it's unnerving what I can do... lol. but that is mostly just in the very beginning for people who have only heard of me...but don't know me yet.
once they know me, they know that they can relax and be safe with me.
and yes!!! my daughter thought I looked like a wolf with the lighter eyes...she didn't like it. Hahahahah
It is kinda creepy...π
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!
yes... but i like it! LOLOLOL i like to be creepy i guess hahahahahahahahahahaha

You really have a very pretty smile, just like the color of your eyes, I tried at one time wanting to put on contact lenses to see how I would look with the green color in my eyes, and the feeling of discomfort was so great, it was like If they had put a dirt truck in my eye, so I stay in the imagination and I stay with my natural eye color, and God made us perfect, so don't be mortified that your face is ideal and perfect. Blessings ππ½π€
hehehe yes it takes some time to get used to the feeling of contacts. and sometimes there is just the finest speck of dirt on the lens and it feels like it could be a razor blade in your eyes!!!! so yes I agree!!! hahaha that feeling is SO uncomfortable... even this day when I was trying on many pairs... my eyes were starting to get more irritated from changing the colors hehehe
You are very pretty, I really like the contact eyes you use, they look good on you
I really like the contacts too!!! hehehehe
did you have a favorite? i think i liked the bright grey best hehehe - but I guess the darker blue is a more natural look? hehehe I don't know! heheh I just know they are fun to try on!! thank you for enjoying them with me!!! hehehe
well to tell the truth I have never tried any, but if they give me the chance they would be green
You're wonderfully made with unique eyes. Don't you think so? I admire your sweet black eyes. You're beautiful.
yes - unique and wonderfully made!!! I believe this and when I am calm - I should just be thankful to God for giving me eyes that work well and eyes that my husband loves! hehehehehe
Thank you for the compliment and the reminder that I am made special by God! β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ
Ohhh, have you ever ask your husband what attracted him to you? Don't you think your eyes contributed to it?
hehehe I think it was my personality. I seem very confident to people - and he liked that. but he has always liked my eyes too hehehe
Wow, you have lots of features and personality traits. Hope you always appreciates your hubby too?
hehehe he is a wonderful man whom I love with all my heart!!! hehehe
Wow!!! Hope he knows how much you love him? May your live for each other endure to the end
I just asked him...he said yes he knows how much I love him! hehehe
thank you for the blessing!
I don't know how I'd feel with such very unique eyes. I'll probably feel the same way you did- weirded by it and all. But I'm happy you've seen how very special your eyes are and it does help that it has a pretty cool name to go with it... mirrored eyes
Sounds like a character in an amazing fairy tale. You have such a wonderful personality too. Must come with the eyes. Lol.π
yes!! hehehe i think knowing that they are called "mirrored eyes" instead of boring old "black eyes" made me like them a bit more hahahaha
isn't it funny how the mind works? we can just be swayed by the label??? LOLOL yep - we can! we are just silly humans sometimes. I know i am! hahahaha
Not sure if my personality is connected to my eyes - but... it could be! hehehe maybe learning to live with something you don't like... makes you learn how to be happier in life too? hahahaha
I like you just the way you are hehe. Keep the original set of eyes please - Those I know and trust π€ I was looking at the others and thinking... oh my, what in the world !LOLZ But if it makes you happy to have fun... then why not! hahaha

ROFLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL see ? you're like Sydney
She walked into the room and was like AGH! NO!!!!
hahahahahaa
but she didn't seem to mind the deeper blue ones hehehe
but i really love those light ones. I have a cousin that has eyes that color and my gosh - so striking. so so very striking!!!!
But yesssssssss.. i'll keep these. I think the laser surgery costs $5000 per eye .. or per... whatever. LOL
but did you click on the link and see the before and afters??? so freaking cool what they do! and i looked all into it and studied how they did it. It's so brilliant! but -its permanent. Once you destroy the melanocytes in the eye - they can't come back.
But what happens is...
the laser destroys them - and then the body just rids itself of the dead cells over the next few weeks. and as they go - they obviously are no longer producing melanin.
But the thing is - EVERYONE has blue eyes. the thing that changes the blue( or grey) color is the pigment ON TOP of what's underneath! So once the body clears away the dead melanocytes... the melanin goes away too - and reveals the color underneath hehehe
so it is actually you! it's not something new. it's just removing whatever is covering the you underneath! hehehehehe
anyway.. hehehe pretty interesting procedure. I'm actually shocked that they haven't made it more mainstreamed!!
but you know what is also interesting????
everyone loves light eyes...
but if people all started to have this done to GET the light eyes... then the dark would become more rare and probably more wanted. hahahahaha
isn't it always the way??? grass is greener LOL
i'm stuck with mine - but colored contacts are about $20. hehehehe and they are fun and cheap and reversible LOLOL
hahaha... I was showing Brett the pics earlier and said to him that the lighter ones remind me so much of Jesse Williams' eyes in Grey's Anatomy. His eyes are gorgeous. Well... he's gorgeous !LOLZ And they don't look ugh on you... I guess I'm so used to the depth of your eyes. I think they are lovely π€BUT... wear those contacts when you are with me and be prepared for me to be distracted ROFLLLLLLL cos I'm not sure I will be able to get over you with different coloured eyes ππ
