"Triple Valencia"


It's easy to hide your sorrows with a fake smile and a filter

Hudson. Mayfair. Rise. Valencia.

What about when it comes to your soul and feelings?

Are you able to filter that?

Triple Valencia your sadness or your happiness?

Why do we hide ourselves behind different shades?

Life is full of beauty, especially without all the filters.

Earlybird. Nashville.

Filters can't show the true happiness behind the smiling girl in the picture.

Changing the color tone of a picture of a loved one will not change the memories with them.

Original.

I will no longer hide behind a filter.

What you see is what you get.

A girl. A happy girl.

A girl who is going through life's roller coaster, but will only focus on the positives during the downs.

Who welcomes the downs because she knows everything will turn up better than before.

Focusing on the positives to keep that smile on her face.

A girl who has so many blessings in her life that she will make sure not to take them for granted.

Those blessings, that smile is what makes her, her, without the filters.
