Actually Faugxh I have been wondering who the person is in the portrait in your profile, ever since you changed it. (Months ago… a year? Has it been a year yet?)
Who is that in the portrait? If you don’t mind sharing of course.

And speaking (just in general) of people substituting other images into their profile pics (from art, or their pets, or other icons and images), I find that fascinating. To me the choice of image a person puts in their profile pic is a window into their mind; it suggests something about their personal narrative, about how they understand themselves in the world and I find that fascinating.

Why, Matt. It’s me of course. Just an old pic. Couple of centuries old.
(I forgot the source, sorry. Had it as my WhatsApp for years)

When you made that change, I smiled, instantly. I love those books.
I’ll tell you what that change suggests to me:
- You’re playful, whimsical, like those books are
- You have an open and curious mind, like children do (not to say that you’re childish, but instead to say, you’ve retained that valuable curiosity they have in spades)

To me having Kevin as your pic suggests:
- You have an affinity for animals, which means you have a deep caring streak
- You have a Guinea pig - and not a cat or a dog (much more common pets) - which means you have an independent streak (independent enough that you explored options outside the two most common pet types)
Sorry. Fixed it

If I wouldn’t say it to their face I wouldnt say it behind their back’ That’s a good rule to live by

Boom! 
It’s so interesting that a guinea pig can symbolize so much. Images speak a thousand words
That’s the whole reason I changed my profile picture from a selfie as well. Ever since I changed it to the dogs I haven’t gotten an unwanted messages

Hi Matt, sometimes it’s simple. I was stalked by someone I went to HS with, he was constantly trying to reach out until it got creepy, started to call me, was driving by my house. I didn’t feel safe. I left FB and all social media because of that. This is the only social account I have now, and that’s why my profile is Max. I wish I could say it was more profound. I do absolutely love all animals though!

Simple is good too
Max is a great pic! He’s a dog with a lot of layers too. He’s obviously devoted and loyal to you (as you’ve shared in pics and stories) and he’s endearing (like that photo of blind Max standing beside a wall, and if I recall correctly you shared that he does that sometimes, thinking he’s standing beside you or near you).
Max also reveals your caring heart. For example, you leave a shirt on the couch for him where he’s sleeping, so he can be comforted by your scent.
