damn selfies

It doesn't matter to me whether someone only Instagrams the enhanced and made up photos of themselves. It doesn't matter if their selfies are only taken from a certain angle with very specific lighting. It doesn't matter if they decide to cover or cut out a part of their face.


I only hope that they can be content with what they actually look like without the filters, angles, lights; that they are still confident in who they are without the strategic and practiced cuts, makeup, or expressions.


I personally like to post a mix of made up photos and the silly ones. To the curious viewer it may be shocking or they might feel as though they've been deceived, but that's how I try to bring that reality of who I am on the internet.
