Off topic, but I was perusing Reddit on break @work, and I came across this wrong picture of
Marilyn Monroe.
It is her picture, but I was struck by her face, one of the most recognizable visages from the past 50 years. Take a look.
We know that she was troubled; this picture was taken three weeks before she died.
Here's what I mean-each half of her face doesn't match the other.
I'm not a Monroe fan-I've had a few of her films through the years-but I appreciate that hers was a hard, short life. Considering how hard the holidays are for some people, maybe I'm not so off topic after all.
By the bye-my life is fine; this isn't about me. But there are many who have a rough time around the holidays, who may need some of what Marilyn was missing. Peace. Friendship.

Merry Christmas!
Some folks are quite troubled at this time of year.
Just yesterday a double murder then suicide happened in Ashland, Wisconsin.
I guess I was struck by the two sides of Marilyn's face being different because, although she was remembered for her beauty...she was fragile, vulnerable and ultimately tragic. To me, the left half of her photo is nearly perfect, but the right half is a little more wild/pained/honest.
Could be that I am 100% wrong, that I'm 'reading into' her photo things that aren't there...but that is how it struck me.
It's Christmas night. I've just returned from a family gathering, and might clarify this more tomorrow. May God Bless.
