WHO AM I REALLY?


Filters are just lies we tell ourselves to fit in with the rest of the world.

Filters don’t make us happy they hide our true selves.

Filters hide who we really are

Filters are just that, they filter out the things we don’t like.

Our imperfections…

No one is perfect. No one will ever be perfect.

Don’t let life be filtered because it still won’t be perfect.

I am that girl who takes a selfie and smiles without adding a filter,

because I know I was born this way and no one can or ever will be me.

I am one of a kind.

I will always be proud of who I am.

I am that girl that talks loud.

I am that girl who holds her head high and keep going.

I am that girl who gets tired of doing her hair and throws on a hair scarf.

I am that girl who likes eating Oreos and not going to the gym.

I am that girl who likes waking up, unwrapping my hair and leave it be.

Yes I like dressing up.

But I don't need to paint my face to get pretty.

I KNOW I LOOK GOOD WITHOUT ALL THE EXTRA!

I AM WHO I AM  #NOFILTER
