Instagram Woes


Become brighter with Valencia.

Become more enhanced with Nashville.

Or I could become Black and White with Willow.

Tilt to the left or tilt to the right?

Half face or full face?

Instagram is life.

Thats what they say.

It shows my life but it is only highlighted through likes.

Am I not pretty enough?

Sexy enough?

I used the filters, the highlights, and all of the other components.

Stop.

Get a grip.

You are beautiful.

Filters do not define the beauty or characteristics of a person.

Instagram does not define YOU.

Your character highlights your non-filtered beauty.

The uniqueness of every aspect of you.

That’s something filters can’t fix.
