i hate my face
The story
okay, i gotta spill the beans here... i'm totally fed up with the way i look!!! it's like every time i scroll through insta or any social media, bam! these perfect pics are slapping me in the face. honestly, how do people ALWAYS manage to look so flawless??? and yeah, i've heard it all before from my fam and friends: "looks aren't everything" or "it's what's inside that counts" blah blah blah. but like seriously? how am i supposed to just ignore it when i've got mirrors all over my house practically screaming at me that i'm not measuring up? sometimes i feel like my reflection is mocking me, you know?
i remember this one time back in high school when a friend snapped a pic of us and posted it without all those filters and fancy stuff. i thought i looked so bleh that day; everyone else was shining in their own way. it kinda became this thing where i started avoiding random photos altogether unless i knew for sure it was gonna go through my editing first. is that weird? maybe justifiable? who knows!! another thing... why does my phone have to pop up with those #nofilter challenges? isn't life tough enough already??? seeing folks pulling off stunning shots without any touch-ups gets to me big time! i start wondering if they woke up looking camera-ready or what. meanwhile, there's me trying to hide behind filters like they're a lifesaver... ugh, this whole thing sucks.
