Assignment 4 Selfies
4/5/20
The article I read was The Un-Selfie: Taking Back the Self-Portrait by Marie McGrory. This article made me rethink the meaning of the world selfie. Most people believe it to be a picture of ourselves and often in a positive and unrealistic way. I could be sitting in my pajamas the entire week but when Saturday comes and I get all dressed and pretty I am going to post a picture of myself dressed up and not in my pajamas. Marie believe many selfies do not show our uniqueness and we pretend to be things that we are not.
Marie also believes that selfies are not just a picture of your face. Many of her photographs didn’t even show the persons face at all. The pictures portrayed more of herself and her personality. She wanted to show the world her and others uniqueness.

Racey days help me through the hopeless haze
But my, oh, my
Tragic eyes, I can’t even recognize myself
Behind
So if the answer is no
Can I change your mind?
Out again, a siren screams at half-past ten
And you won’t let go
While I ignore, that we both felt like this before
It starts to show
So if I had a chance
Would you let me know?
Why aren’t you shaking?
Step back in time
Graciously taking
Oh, you’re too kind
And if the answer is no
Can I change your mind?
We’re all the same and love is blind
The sun is gone before it shines
And I said, if the answer is no
Can I change your mind?
If the answer is no
Can I change your mind?

Honestly ive always been self conscious and ive always had super low self-esteem because ive always compared myself to other females because i mean come on women are freaking beautiful creatures but over the past few years i really grew as a person i started loving myself for what i look like and who i am and it is a work in progress let me tell you its freaking hard to change your perspective on yourself but its so worth it to try i would say about half the week i love myself and the other half i hate myself but ive made progress and im gonna keep going because fuck depression and anxiety!
