"For all sad words of tongue and pen, the saddest are those 'It might have been.' "
-John Greenleaf Whittier

I've been thinking about eyes lately, how you can really tell what someone is thinking or what they're feeling by the look they give you. I dislike the quote about the eyes being the windows to the soul because it's been overused, but it's pretty damn accurate.

When I really care enough or when I want to convey something without saying, I'll give a look, hoping to fill it with how I'm feeling. It's sort of a secret into my psyche. Sometimes the most important things I want to say don't come out verbally because to speak them would ruin my pride. Perhaps, that's why all my characters are always in a situation where they can't speak out. One day, my character will be able to articulate herself/himself. Instead of having life deal with my character, my character will deal with it (a mirroring of my own wistful thinking).
