PHOTOS THAT DIDNT MAKE IT

2024/7/22 Edited to

... Read moreMany of us have photos that we hesitate to share, often because they don't represent our ideal selves. Whether it's a quirky expression, an awkward pose, or simply not feeling like ourselves in the moment, these images tell a story. It's crucial to recognize that every photo has value, capturing memories and emotions that go beyond mere aesthetics. In today's world, social media puts immense pressure on us to present a perfect image. However, embracing vulnerability can be liberating. Reflecting on why certain photos didn't meet our expectations can help build confidence. They offer a glimpse into our real lives rather than the curated perfection often showcased online. Participating in the #lemon8diarychallenge, users can candidly share their experiences with these photos, creating a sense of community and support. Remember, every picture has a narrative worthy of expression, and imperfections can make our stories even more relatable.

This is how I make my photos have that little “Dark Effect” My go to is having my camera exposure at -0.7 all the time, but when I do forget I go to photos and edit it, since I already have it in on all of my photos, I just copy and paste edits. I hope this is helpful (: #photo #photoedit #d

Recipe at the end. I halved this recipe this time to feed two. So, I used an 8.5x8.5 dish instead of a 9x13. I say feed two, but, that’s only because we eat more than we should when I make this dish, I could eat the whole thing in one day by myself! #beef #casserole #foodie #easymeal #r

Recent tattoos that didnt get much attention
I’m very proud of these pieces and I know I shouldn’t take it to heart when IG/TikTok algorithm doesn’t want to push my content, but it’s a lil bit defeating when I put my heart and soul in these pieces and end up getting less than 10 likes or 100 viewers. But it’s okay though! Just keep pushi
