Mr Bottle has a question: Are you the type to keep things bottled up or do you wear your heart on your sleeve?
I'm the bottling type. Friends used to liken me to a deep sea clam. Add that to the fact that I'm not a touchy-feely person and need a lot of physical space to feel comfortable in public places, you can imagine what an unfriendly, cold and aloof impression I tend to make on strangers. I've mellowed over the years, but I still tend to keep my deepest feelings to myself, especially if they are painful or conflicting emotions. There are secrets I will be taking to my grave. 8D
Very creative and artistic, Livia! Excellent comp as per your usual work! Strange how you have likened your title and description to your personality. I've been reflecting on some recent shots almost the same way.
Can certainly relate to Mr Bottle and yourself right now; I've changed a lot over the past couple years though, and there're just some things I don't think I'd reveal - my secrets safe with me :).
Oh Mr Bottle! Please let me help you out of there, you really don't look very comfortable!
(Me: Heart on my sleeve is an understatement, ocean of emotion would be closer to the mark!)
Loving this series. Each shot is deceptively simple. Add the words and you really get me thinking.....) :-)
Wonderful photo Livia. My daughter is so much like you...I am a bit more outgoing, although I can be reserved with strangers and don't need people around me to be happy. I often say to my daughter...loosen that hair, put on some bright lipstick and get out there...!
Excellent self-expression through art!! This is terrific Livia! Hope you and Mr. Bottle are ok!! I tend to do both...as it suits me :) It's both selfish and handy....hmmmm- what does that say about me? LOL
Beautifully done .. and so creative. Which is what you are, Livia! I can relate. I'm a "bottled up" kind of person and maybe more so as I grow old. Maybe we're all revealing our lives in our photos without even thinking about it.
You are so innovative & creative; I am loving this little series you are doing for SSC, I think you have captured the essence brilliantly. I am a heart on sleeve girl and that can come across as needy (which I am not) so I guess either way we're screwed;0)
This is a very creative project you have going on here. Love your title. No one ever wonders how I feel. I even cry at work, sad to say. Sometimes I wish I could just keep it bottled up!!
Inspiring and creative! I think that you made it interactive! I have very strong emotions...I love/like deeply and I can also dislike quite strongly! There is not a lot of gray area for me. I love your bottle series!
Livia you are so clever and creative in your photos.This is a great series. So unbottled in telling us that you are bottled!!! I have always been let it all out, but have got better as older. There is always hope!!!!!
We're all bottled up at times. I'm a person keeping to myself most of the time. sometimes I wish I could change and be more outgoing. love the artissry in your picture.

" What a contradiction, isn't it? 8D My being online is like giving people a direct line to my head. You get access to my thoughts. I write what I feel and what I think. But, if you were looking at me, you'd have no clue what I was feeling or thinking and I wouldn't say it. I know it sounds weird but that's pretty much me. Sadly, I'm way more interesting as an online persona just because there's a direct connection between my thoughts and the words I am pounding out on my keyboard. In real life, I'm boring as heck because I'm all clammed up. I usually don't speak unless I'm spoken to. I also smile a lot more online. Like so: 8D But in real life, I wear a dour expression. I can't help it because it's my default face. 8P
@http365proj Shirley, I'm sorry, there will never be a selfie on this project. I have a massive hang-up about being in front of the camera. I've not had a photograph of me taken in many years. (The exception being the photograph I need to take for my passport to be renewed. Eep.)
Fabulous expression Livia. I like that you've opened up on here. Your extremely succinct with your thoughts and words, it's enlightening, so take some credit for that. Such a strength.
I do wear my heart on my sleeve, am quite forthright but also very sensitive and bottle the deep things up so much that I can make myself ill. Message in a bottle. Thanks so much for your words and wonderful pics. ;)
A big "THANK YOU!" to everyone for taking the time to stop by! It was so interesting reading all of your responses. Thank you for being kind to Mr Bottle and we hope to see you again! Thank you!
I think we all bottle up to some extent and uncork only when we feel comfortable knowing that our contents won't be wasted. There, tried to keep the bottle theme going in my reply!
Great words and representation with this shot!

Nice shot. Am enjoying this series.
Heart on my sleeve and it's been ripped off many times
