NABLOPOMO DAY 1: YOU
“Be Yourself; Everyone else is already taken.”
DO YOU LIKE TAKING SELFIES? WHY OR WHY NOT.
I had to grow into liking the way I look.
I will honestly say, it wasn’t until my 30s that I began to really LOVE myself. Or rather, accept.
No LOVE.
On the surface, I am opposed to selfies. At first glance they are so narcissistic. BUT the photographer in me loves a GOOD selfie. My selfies tend to be unconventional: I cut off my head, I show just my feet, just my hands…
I believe in taking the ordinary and making it pretty.
And selfies are no exception. Why be like everyone else? That’s something that I can honestly say taken me 39 years to come to realize: that being me is the best.
That being me is better than OK.
And I celebrate ME with a selfie now and then.
Because some days you look good.
Some days your day stinks.
Somedays you want everyone to SEE your happiness.
Some days, only a selfie will show how tired you really are.
So to answer the question, YES, I like taking selfies.
The end.
🙂
Your pictures are so beautiful. You truly have a gift. I like that you learned to like selfies 🙂
I don’t take selfies that often. I have about 10 in my phone but for the most part I hate them….they never ever come out right.
I like selfies but can never seem to get them just right. I love your approach and ma’am…
You are beautiful! Radiant! Your smile is infectious! You shine life inside and out.
