s e l f


   Back when I lived on MySpace (circa 2006-2010), I took selfies weekly. It was so absurd. I would have a little photo shoot with myself: I would choose four outfits, run outside, snap some pics in my yard, run inside to change, and repeat. I blew off plenty of English assignments, but I always made time for this ritual. I edited them with this snazzy internet site Picnik (which has been renamed Ribbet, thank me later).
   Even though the only social media platform I have is Instagram, I've been over my obsessive selfie era for a few years now. I'm more interested in posting content... quotes, history lessons, self-confidence rants, and political jibber-jabber. My body isn't as important to me anymore as much as the knowledge that it possesses. That's what I'd rather be known for: intellect > vanity.
