there are certain things everyone does that give them a look of pure content. i see it a lot when people are eating by themselves or walking around without anything specific on their minds. i noticed it today in kennesaw’s dining hall when this guy walked by with food on his plate looking for a table. it’s not just a food-related thing, though. it can be any activity that someone really enjoys indulging in. sometimes i see it in dad when he’s laying on the couch on his phone or watching sports or when we’re eating. i think it can happen whenever someone let’s their guard down and doesn’t feel like they need to protect themselves from being vulnerable, maybe that’s why i notice it when people are eating or food is involved so often. also, by content i don’t mean a huge smile on their face, i mean a relaxed look with maybe a slight grin. i think it brings out the innocence in everyone, even cruel or severe people who don’t ever look content or happy or give a feeling of calm when you’re around them. just a little thing i’ve thought about and noticed a lot over time.
