This is probably the oddest thing to say but the thing I felt I lost when I was suffering through depression at its worst was my smile. I love smiling (it's my favourite!) and even though the action was there - the love, the happy, the twinkle in the eye - the je ne sais quoi... it was all missing. When I felt my first smile properly again this year I cried, through happiness, through sadness that it was lost and relief that it actually came back - I was worried it was gone for good.
This is the most recent photo of me properly smiling (that wasn't a selfie haha) and I love it because it was such a beautiful day with our friends and the beautiful bride and groom and also, rather vainly because my hair looks rather awesome without hair dye now its finally grown out!
