The camera lies

 Anxiety over pictures of myself have plagued me my whole life. This is profound...

THE CAMERA LIES

If you have ever been frustrated, trying to photograph the

beauty of the moon or a sunrise, then you will know that

a snapshot is a mere recreation of what the human eye

sees. It can't quite do justice to the beauty we behold. The 

same goes for you. Your beauty is in the eye of your

beholder. If you see a photo of you that doesn't look like

how you feel you look, that's exactly what is happening.

Your beauty can't quite be captured by a camera, or a 

filter. It's in the energy, the magic, the light  you send out.

And it's all yours. And it's still there, regardless of what 

the snapshot shows. The camera lies. Or maybe it just 

can't quite comprehend how much you really are.
