Selfie
This is about how some women are obsessed with taking photos of themselves and posting them online.
We live in a society of girls obsessed with themselves.
Where Instagram can make someone as famous as a celebrity within seconds.
Where posts get shared and go viral.
Eventually, they will put cell phone chips inside our brains and we will be able to track everyone online.
There is no privacy.
Everyone knows everything about you at a given moment.
Facebook is a self-made monster.
Only you control what you share.
Your posts will be sold to advertisers so they can market their products to you.
Vanity rules us and no one looks the same in person.
There are more photo filters than plastic surgeons in my city.
Photo editing can help you reconstruct your face for free.
No one has to know it's not really you in your selfie.
It’s the way you wish you looked,
With blemish free skin, higher cheekbones and a smaller nose.
Be careful that you do not fall asleep on webcam drunk,
And your wig falls off.
