Through the Eyes of Sociality

Location

I am laying down on a beach, goose pimples popping up on my legs because the air around the ocean is always cooler and moist, my hair twerking with the wind, and I am smiling awkwardly at the camera. 

With the X - Pro II, I am laying down on a beach, leg glows with perfect tan, hair dancing freely against the wind, and laughing at the camera. 

 

I am drinking a cup of Starbucks coffee, eyes widen at the unfamiliar and disgusting bitter favor it leaves behind. 

With the Earlybird, I look sophisticated, eyelashes framing the pupils of a daredevil. 

 

I am running up to get Fall Competition medal and accidentally tripped on a loose stone from the concrete. 

With the Lomo-fi, I denied gravity, light with joy.  

 

I am taking a picture of the pink polluted sky to remind me of my first date hiking in the woods. 

With the Sutro filter, I am showing how miserable the sky look upon me and my self claimed happiness. 

 

I am hugging my best friend, congratulating him on the success of his promotion. 

With the Toaster filter, I am hugging my husband to be. 

 

Without any filters, I am smiling awkwardly at the camera, for the person taking it is the love of my life. I am the happy - go - lucky, oh - she’s - so - silly girl. I’m the girl who loves the beach but hate the sand. I’m a girl who hates coffee, but loves hot chocolate, no whip. I’m a girl who have never ran in her entire life. I’m a girl who value friendship more than relationships. I am a girl who feels like she needs to hide behind filters because not enough people find her socially acceptable.
