Because i think of weird things when i don't have models. haha
so i was supposed to shoot a wedding with ms.bruce on August 3rd (my birthday) but the couple changed their wedding date to August 8th and neither of us can do it then. this sucks
Quick shot as I was out the door this morning to run some errands to pick up food and medication. The staples of my household. I like my bangs right now which means by next week they'll be too long.
I never knew I had one eye bigger than the other, until tonight. Any tips on getting my eyes sharp when its a selfie?
Cleaning alllllll day for tomorrow's "festivities". I never saw the need to go to the extreme that my Mom does, but she created me, so the least I can do is help out.
Here's to day 1!

This photo was taken on a Sunday evening in my apartment living room. I am sitting on the couch, and this photo features no filter nor makeup nor editing of any kind.
This last photo is the most raw, most accurate, and most vulnerable image of myself. I was still in the conflict with my roommate that left me with the worst anxiety I had felt in a long time. I struggle with acne, which typically is not seen with the makeup and the filters but is shown here. I look exhausted because I am exhausted. In my apartment, where this was taken, I can be fully myself. My social identity is nonexistent because there is no one to impress or to see me, really. I don't have to hide anything about myself. And here, you can see in the camera the stress, anxiety, and insecurities that I do try to hide from the world. My mental health is a constant battle and this day I wasn't feeling confident or on top of the world. My health identity was quite the opposite, actually. In addition to personal things, there is also school and the stress of being a student. Feeling overwhelmed with assignments but little motivation to do them because of everything else going on in my life. This all culminated into this picture, where I chose to take a photo to capture the bad and ugly part of "the good, the bad, and the ugly" for this selfie album. Filters inherently mask us. They present edited, prettier, better, versions of ourselves. Or so we think. Because the truth is, it's a filter. An incomplete picture. This is the complete picture. And it's just as important to love this version of yourself too. I struggle with anxiety, and self-confidence. There are a lot of times where I feel far from good enough. But the truth is that I am. I don't need to hide my acne-prone sensitive skin, nor the dark circles under my eyes, nor the occasional frown. It's all a part of being human in this life. That is my real identity. A soul within a human suit. And that's truly the only reality that matters.
CAPSTONE ADDITION:
This photo is included because it is me at my most vulnerable, a stark contrast to the first photo of the album which is all filters. I have learned over the course of the semester to appreciate myself in a natural state and have love for myself even when I don't feel beautiful. I have learned to find the true beauty in the simplicity of not wearing makeup, being in pajamas, having acne, and not posing perfectly for the camera. Instead, I can appreciate that I'm just a person. I'm just a human. And that's beautiful. I have eyes to see beautiful things. Ears to hear beautiful sounds. The art we've gone over throughout the semester really made me fall in love with art itself again. Especially because the artists were anonymous, it helped me relate that the "person" doesn't matter. It's what you leave behind, what you give to the world, what your soul consists of. That's the real beauty. That's the real art. I enjoy just being able to look at and consume art. And I've learned that art is a mirror, and what you look at also looks into you. I feel beautiful because I view beautiful things. Simple things. A mural on the side of a building. The beauty of the earth, even. Self-love is a journey, but I've grown a lot during the semester on it.
I snuck out of work on my lunch hour and had my brows done (and a lip wax too!). They look so much better than before.
Thanks to my knitnight girls, I now have a great list of salon recommendations. And someone who does threading (might try that next time!). And also, if I decide to forgo the waxing, some moustache consultation references.

Thank goodness I had on my trusty hoodie, or I probably would not have posted this! Never in a million years would I have thought I would post a pic sans makeup and hair, but that's how much I like ya Lil Boo!!!
Gosh, now to tag five people? I completely understand if you don't want to do it or if you already have.
How to play the game:
1. sit down.
2. take a picture of yourself (optional rule: right now. don't primp, just snap one!)
3. upload it.
4. tag 5 people to do the same.

I think the picture matches my mood. I got up at 4:30 and never went back to sleep. Also featured one of my desks - the messy one.
