Brow Beaten

A couple of years ago I was on a fantastically bad camping trip. Walking to the camp store, I passed two girls and one said to me, "Don't look so miserable!" My face unclenched into a tired smile.

Lately, I notice my brow furrowed a lot. Like, I'll just be talking and hey my face feels all tight, and then I relax it and ah, that feels better.

How long have I been doing this? Do I look mad a lot? Am I secretly troubled? Am I concentrating? What am I concentrating on? Is this one of those things everyone notices but nobody says to my face?

I kind of want to find the girl again for another shot of disarming candor.

Maybe you're just stressed out. Do you have stressful things going on in your life right now?
