While some think selfie as an indication of mental health issues (spectrum of narcissism, unhappy personality, having no friend and so on and so forth), I think it is the best indicator of self acceptance, self confidence, ability to enjoy aloneness, and ability to well capture any possible angles. I also see selfie as another kind of painters’ self portraits.
I believe my opinion is not the right one but I prefer holding it with good will and positive pride. And so my Instagram account is a bin of selfie photos especially when I am in a trip — yet only those I have met physically are welcomed to befriend there. 🙏🏼
While some selfies are truly liked by my family and friends, some others are criticised mostly because of angles that (they said) make me look not pretty although what they said is never an issue for me. I know that life is not always of best expected (often not) and I truly love the way I have looked over time.

What makes me love selfie even more is that I can manipulate them using Apps; not changing my face to look beautiful (damn there is no need and possibility for that — I am as beautiful as I am) but using them as canvasses to play colours and light.
getting lost? selfie!
super tired? selfie!
loving the day? selfie!
not always happening but accepting what is is a daily goal to me ♥️ selfie!
trapped in a small space yet wanting to capture wide angle 😉 selfie!
