Selfie Here, Selfie There, Selfie Everywhere.

What importance does a selfie bring to an individual that it creates a worldwide trend? Is it the excitement? Maybe, it's the enticement and entertainment it brings. Probably it's just the solution for the boredom of vain people with a camera at their disposal. However, what truly should be questioned is, how taking selfies is affecting today's generation and how it affects society.

But why is vanity so bad? Everyday, our Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram walls could be bombarded with photographs. We see the faces of the friends we like and dislike. Filter on or filter off. Good morning Selfies. Selfies in the house. Selfies in the halls with your friends trying to be all the cutest you can be. Selfies in the bathroom while taking a shower. Selfies in the toilet while taking a dump. Video Selfies. Selfies with your teacher as he goes on with a lesson. Selfies while in public transportation. Selfies while driving a car. Selfies after crashing a car. Countless number of selfies. Selfies here. Selfies there. Selfies everywhere!

There is no true danger in taking selfies. Unless the camera you're using uses radiation or has a deadly flash, taking selfies is very safe. Taking a photograph of one's self to please one's vanity isn't harmful at all. What's harmful is the irritability that the surrounding people would feel when they see nothing but your face on their social media sites all day. The key to taking selfies is respect. It's very simple. I'll respect your face, then you should also respect mine.

I AM (A free-verse)

I am nowhere near perfect ..
I eat when I'm bored but I'm not getting fat.
I fall for boys easily.
I'm vulnerable to believing lies ..
I live by quotes that explain exactly what I'm going through ..
I make up excuses for everything ..
I have my best friends and enemies ..
I have drama and memories ..
I'm sometimes selfish,impatient and a little insecure ..
I make mistakes ..
I am out of control and at sometimes hard to handle ..
I'm always a mess ..
I can never keep my own secrets ..
I laugh too hard at stupid things ..
I take hours to get ready ..
I'll pretend more to be happy to myself and later l'll cry out loud in front of the mirror ..
I am just normal girl with fears, regret, and flaws

But maybe that's the beauty of it ..
That makes me who I am 
                                                                                    All the crazy stuff i do ..
                                                                                    Experimenting with who I want to be ..

My favorite songs can make me cry and I always sing it even if newer songs come out..
I love my past and my memories.. 
I hate thinking about reality ..

I'm so homesick that it's not even funny ..
but not homesick in a missing my house kind of way ..
maybe it's more like heartsick for all the things I can't get back ..

It's so hard for me to define myself ..

I don't want to be a heroine in some tragic love story ..
I just want the one person who has not given me a second thought ..
I am just your average girl 

And that's who I am..

Live it. Love it. Learn from it.
