Portrait of a Not Fully Formed 40-year-old Woman
( Version 1 )
She is always very polite but rarely has anything interesting or substantial to contribute to any conversation about what's happening socially, politically, or environmentally today. She seems melancholy but always has a painted-on smile resembling a spontaneous heartbeat or pulse.
We sense not shyness but rather instead of frustration that is subtle and quiet. 'We don't talk about politics' has been established, and is that so bad? Not if you're not affected by government or legal decisions. Maybe so much hush outward attitude personality is because some loved one we don't know about is guilty of something related. Who knows?
( Version 2 )
Imagine a portrait of a 40-year-old woman, with her features not fully formed yet. She always appears polite, but her contributions to conversations about today's social, political, or environmental issues are rarely substantial. Her melancholy demeanor is always masked by a painted-on smile resembling a spontaneous heartbeat or pulse.
She displays not shyness but rather a subtle and quiet frustration. Perhaps "We don't talk about politics" has become a mantra for her, and maybe it's not bad if she's not affected at all by government or legal decisions. However, her outward hushed personality may hide something related to a loved one we don't know about. Who knows what secrets are hidden behind her subtly sad smile?
( Version 3 )
The subject in question is a 40-year-old woman who appears polite but does not contribute substantially to conversations surrounding social, political, or environmental issues. Her subtle melancholy demeanor is masked by a painted-on smile that appears and disappears like a spontaneous heartbeat.
Despite not displaying the usual shyness, her behavior suggests some combination of frustrations. This may go along with indications that she has adopted the mantra "We don't talk about politics" and is not directly affected by any federal or local political decisions. However, it is possible that her outward hushed personality is concealing something related to a loved one who is guilty of something.
It's unclear what secrets the woman's subtly sad smile may be hiding, but she struggles with underlying or private issues. Further investigation into her life may be necessary to determine the root cause.
