I love selfies, I take at least one every day. Selfies are, for me, a way to embrace myself. I don't have even one actual selfie on my Instagram, but I still take them. I think the stigma behind selfies that they are just to impress others, or that they are for coincided people is wrong. The purpose or function of a selfie, for me is to capture and communicate how I feel. My favorite way to do that is through Snapchat. It's quick and easy to take a selfie of you doing a sad, or smiley, or mad face and send it to whoever you want. The selfie is an amazing way to communicate. Of course it's not ideal for every situation, but for talking with friends, it's perfect!
Going back to the first selfie in history, Vivian Maeir's. Here selfies hold such a beauty in them. None of her friends or family ever saw them, she never even saw them! She didn't take these pictures to post or to communicate them She just took them. On the other hand, we have Kim Kardashian. Her job is to take pictures of herself and post them on Instagram! She takes selfies just to post them on social media. And we can all agree her selfies are beautiful. Her contour? It's ALWAYS perfect! Kim K can see exactly what she taking a picture of, and she can look at the selfies before posting it, while Vivian Maeir never saw what she was doing. But Kim K and Vivian Maeir both felt the need to capture a picture of themselves. They're not so different after all.
