RE: How I Feel About Selfies ATM

in #photography6 years ago

I do nothing half heartedly, so I won't do them because I would hate the end result

@eveuncovered I can relate to this statement personally, but I would argue that you are in fact doing something about it just by posting your thoughts regarding the disposition! Also you are multi faceted. I've noticed this about you. Sometimes when one of our personal aspects is lacking, we must explore our other talents and take a break (so to speak) from the area we may not be finding inspiration in.

I will conform to a narcissistic vantage point, and use myself as an example. My writing has been immensely blocked lately, but I refuse to do nothing, because I know I have other talents. So I started recording some videos of myself pouring it all out on guitar. I really hate the fact that I don't have the proper equipment to record, but I record anyways. My my recent post was recognized, and upvoted to an amount that I have never experienced, or would have expected on Steemit. To me this equates to one simple aspect.
Although our perception of ourselves may suffer sometimes do to issues with our self esteem, others may perceive you in an entirely different manner.
This is true, regardless of protests to the contrary, because I can pick apart and tell you a multitude of things that I find wrong with my recording, but yet others connected with it in a way that is unique to themselves, and did not judge the flaws (derogatorily speaking).

This is NOT one of those pity party things where I sit here waiting for you to lift me up. It’s called self-esteem for a reason, and it has very little to do with your opinions about me.

Very true. I'm sure you could figure out by now, that I too suffer from self esteem issues at times. At the moment, my nutrition has been pretty terrible, and I have gained some weight, and have had a hard time controlling it, and I am not going to try to feed you some uplifting shit to try to kiss up, and feed into the whole fairytales and rainbow shit. I am going to tell you exactly what I see, and it's yours to perceive how you wish.
I see A beautiful woman in her prime that goes the extra mile to look her best, and deliver quality photography to her viewers because she takes pride in herself, and what she does
There will always be moments in our lives where we our down on ourselves, and the tides just don't seem to be shifting correctly. I'm also feeling the same way as I am writing this, but I also believe in myself, and I believe in the people I have developed a relationship with on Steemit. That includes YOU @eveuncovered.
I hope that the next time you look into the mirror, your perception will have changed. Embrace what you are. You are beautiful !

P.S. I upvoted my own comment here to ensure you get to see it..I'm not really a narcissist lol.

It's good to have many different hobbies and interest to switch between when you are feeling like one is not working for you that day. Yes, I did got this one self portraits, and it worked out just like I wanted it to, but I am resorting to hiding in the shadows and the comfort of black and white. I have ideas and photographic stories that require me to be really seen and in colour, but those can stay in the idea bank for now. I'm very erratic and all or a sudden I might feel the inspiration and self confidence to do them, I never know in advance.

I'm glad you brought up the bad diet, because it is definitely something that has a lot of effect to how we look and feel about ourselves. I know I don't look it, but it is something I struggle with and I love junk food and it's a constant battle in trying to find the back bone to not eat it. I know that eating healthy makes me look and feel better, but we as humans are weak to temptation and hedonism.

Omg, don't say I'm on my prime, makes it sound like it's all downhill from here 😂

I see you got Curied, congrats man, you deserve it! :)

In my opinion „prime“ is mostly about the mindset as well. I am in my prime today. i will be in my prime tomorrow. And definitely intend to be in my prime after 20-25 years. I see no reason why the same would not apply to you. So I believe that this word should not be scary at all.

Well shit, some men like a woman in her prime! And women have it better in that sense. They say a man is in his prime from 25 to 30,and a woman 30 to 40...WTF? So by those numbers, I've just left my prime.. But you look "barely in your prime " so you have plenty of time. No worries!

Thank you for your vote of confidence with me getting Curie, it is an amazing feeling, even if I don't really feel worthy. I've certainly been trying my best.

And @eveuncovered as far as the junk food is concerned. Let me show you futuremind on a good day....
