Honestly


Honestly, I don't

use filters because

I don't have any time to go though them all.

Honestly, I don't

wear makeup because

I'm not physically willing to give up an extra hour of sleep in the mornings.

 

I do care how others see me

and I do value others' opinions of myself.

But more importantly I care how I see myself.

 

Honestly, I do

see myself as driven and outspoken 

even if others see me as strict and different.

Honestly, I do

see myself as passionate and spirited

even if others see me as weird and "too outgoing."

 

Honestly, in the end of each day,

I have to be happy with myself

and who I see in the mirror

is someone who I can proudly label

#nofilter.
