Unfiltered Thoughts on Filters

                             
Instead of using 25 filters will it not be easier to take care of yourself?! Take care of your skin, your body, your health, and above all take care of your mind. If you do that then you can actually look like the way you want to look even without a camera, even in reality. Obviously if one is set on his or her ways my words going to die at the threshold of their ears. Also one's family and friends can see the actual person constantly. Who are they trying to fool! The problem is I don't like anything that is fake. But when I'm taking photographs with people, the celebrated "groupie" they use filters, an unthinkable amount of it. Not only that, they are now clicking pics with the filters, through apps, so now you do not have to use filter after taking the pic, your photo would come out with a better version of you. In one of these groupies I saw that all of us were looking the same, same complexion, same straight hair, no blemish, no personal faults, no personal idiosyncrasies of our own skin, no individual way ours eyes wrinkle when we smile that makes us a "me". We were looking so much alike that it was on the verge of being creepy. 

Sometimes in photographs I look fat, okay most of the times, and sometimes I look very tired and aged, but I still feel like showing it to people because maybe the background is phenomenal, maybe the moment is beautiful, maybe my face looks beautiful but my belly looks like I'm 6 months pregnant. Sometimes what happens is my pic-partner is looking good or there is a never before seen love in his eyes or an eagle is flying just behind my ear with fully expanded wings but I simply look bloated. What to do in this scenario? I sometimes post the photo anyway, sometimes I don't. 

The problem with me is, when I would decide to be fake, I would be one like nobody is, it would be unbelievably new. It's a joke. But you get the idea, right! Did I tell you in that above mentioned groupie all of us were looking the same ? 

So fakism and copism or imitationism all are in the file of my file cabinet under the letter "D", titled "Disgusted".

So what does it mean? They think they did not come out of their mothers' womb beautiful, so they decide to come out of their smart phones beautiful, but definitely not smarter though. 

I do not want to think about it anymore, gave this silly subject more of my time than it deserves. I'm now going back to my Jo Nesbo thriller Redbreast where Ellen Gjelten just got killed, and of course some nice warm tea!
