If your adolescent years coincide with the development of the smart phone and you’ve posted your face pic only 6 times in the past 10 years, this article is not for you. But, if you are about to take another selfie, because number 3086 is so much more “different” than the other 3085, or you’re spending countless hours waiting for people to click on that valueless Like button, before you are considering investing in a selfie stick, here are The Best Reasons To Never Take Another Selfie Again:
When you meet in person, you never Duck-lip, or get on your knees, to only be seen from a high angle. I don’t imagine that you also travel with a personal lighting crew that carries your spotlight.
When you scroll through your photos, they all look the same.
When aliens come to conquer the world, you don’t want them believing that the whole planet acquired Duck lips, like a virus at the dawn of the 21st
Asking a stranger to take your photo could be the beginning of a beautiful new relationship, personal or professional.
When googled by your new employer, you won’t come across like Madonna’s latest magazine cover. Some things can NOT be unseen.
You want to give people the impression that your self-worth is more then your three quarter head shot.
You don’t want your vacation story to be about some angry local that beat the crap out of you with your selfie stick.
You will avoid falling backwards into the Grand Canyon.
Your face will never be used for FREE by any advertisement company or third party of Facebook, Instagram or Twitter.
You can now use your Photoshop skills on something more productive and profitable.
You can now rediscover the shiny thing on the wall called mirror that can tell you what your face looks like.
When you become old you want to have only few reminders of how young you were, not 3251 reminders staring at you from the same weird angle.
Looking at your 385 selfies is like looking at the 74 vacation photos of a rock on the beach that your friend took.
Even with 20,000 selfies, you’ll never have Kardashian or Hilton money.
Every image proves that you are imperfect, but eternally hopeful that you are a microsecond away from the image that makes your whole life worth living. It’s a 600 billion dollar advertisement beauty industry cage that you have constructed from doubts and delusions.
And most importantly, start finding what you are really about and maybe stop feeling so self entitled. The world does not owe you anything, because you learned how to smize from Tyra Banks. Having 1 or 1423 likes on your photo may feel good or bad for the instant, but after all, people are looking at a moment in time and not the real you. The one that’s hiding underneath the layers of make-up, Photoshop and artful posing.
