Unedited Photos on Social Media

I have a little bit of a rant for you. These photos are unedited. I posted an edited version of the first one to Instagram. Check it out at ilyjessicaomg I think it is very important to show the real you on social media. I know it's a lot easier to seem perfect via social media, but the truth is, NO ONE IS PERFECT. Despite what you may think, no is actually perfect. A filter might make them seem perfect, an edit, makeup, etc. Everything like that is a shadow to hide the real you. I could also say, those are ways to enhance what you have, but that would be somewhat hypocritical. I am not sorry for who I am or what I look like. I just hope you can see that I am not trying to bash anyone who loves all those things, (Instagram apps, editing, etc.) I love those things too. I am just not trying to convey an image of perfection. I hope you all have a great New Years and let's do something more than ourselves in 2016.

Have To vs Force

I struggle with what I have to do versus feeling forced into doing it. I'm talking about having to give advice versus forcibly saying what the person wants to hear. When I say have to, I mean it in the way of morally knowing what's right versus genuinely giving the said advice. Feeling like you're being forced into saying a certain something, I often feel as if the person gives you a bias story to make it seem like what you answered is your genuine opinion. I'm not sure if I'm making sense but if you aren't a bit confused then maybe I should keep going. I think that sometimes I give off a therapist type of vibe. It is almost as if I'm wearing a shirt that says 'what's bothering you'?  I feel like I give a ton of what I think is good advice for a bunch of things and situations I have never been in before.  It's a tiresome job.
