A Woman Full of Happiness


When I was looking at the pictures on my instructor’s blog, I found a really charming woman. She was smiling slightly at me, and her subtle smile grabbed my heart. She was staring at the camera with a peaceful mind. I was wondering why she was so attractive, and why she seemed to have a peaceful mind. As a result, now I started to imagine her personality and her life.

To be honest, the woman in this picture is not beautiful. She has a round face, high cheek-bones, and wide, full lips. She probably has long black hair; I cannot see the color of her skin and hair because the picture is a black and white picture, so she looks like an Asian woman; however, she has a long and high nose which most Asian people don’t have. Her big eyes are staring at the camera gently, and it makes me think she has a peaceful mind. In addition, her well fixed eyebrows seem like she has a strong will and is a reliable person. Her appearance really made a good impression on me.

She is wearing snug clothes which look very thick, quilted and warm, plus there is a fur scarf around her neck, which means she came from somewhere cold. She is sitting somewhere but nothing is in the background, so I guess she took this picture in a photography studio. Also, her clothes seem not only worm but also formal and traditional; the pattern of her clothes shows some plants and flowers. It makes me think her ethnic group may love nature. In this way, I know she probably took this picture to remember an important period or special event in her life.

This picture is a black and white picture, so I think it is from many years ago. As I already mentioned, she seemed to be happy and have a peaceful mind, and she is wearing formal clothes. From these viewpoints, I think she is a bride-to-be. She is waiting for her marriage. That’s why she took the picture with formal clothes for her great memory before she gets married. In addition, she is smiling happily because she will get married. I can see that she is full of happiness and it makes me happy too; to see someone’s happiness makes our feeling good.

To imagine one’s life from just one picture was hard, and we need a rich imagination to understand how one lives. However, we are watched and judged by others based on our appearance just I did this time. The woman in this picture was not beautiful honestly, however, I could see her inner beauty. I learned that if we can improve our inside, and be happy from the bottom of our heart, we can attract people like her at least without appearance mattering.
