How To Dehumanize Oneself

Location

In this day and age, it is easy to virtually achieve perfection.

That is what you desire, isn’t it?

As long as you conceal yourself behind your mobile device,

Everyone will see only what you are supposed to be-

Flawless. Seamless. Perfect.

Teeth not brilliantly blanched? Choose Noir.

Any discoloration in your skin? Select Sepia.

Eyes not captivating enough? Pick Chrome.

Tan nonexistent in the cold trials of winter? Try Transfer.

Creases around your lips or eyes? Try Instant.

Ready to show the world who you really are? Choose None. (Not recommended)
