I didn't take that much pictures back then, but whenever I would, I'd always be silly in them. Since I was an energetic kid, I never sat still and posed properly whenever I take a photo, in-fact, I was uncomfortable whenever I did. -
I rarely took pics of myself, so there are a lot of gap years. in 2015, I still had the same personality, and background since I used to usually take selfies on a computer in my room. -
after 4 years, I finally took another selfie. Around this time, I hated how I looked. I was in a phase of insecurities; this became the reason why I never personally posted anything that had my face during this time. Even then, I would only agree to take pics when a filter in on. I was mainly focused on posting heavily edited sunsets. -
2020 was like the death of me. A wart grew right on my nose that I was HEAVILY insecure about. That wart stayed on for almost a year and I always thought it made me look like a troll. I'm pretty sure the only reason why I posted this picture is because I thought it made my wart look like part of the filter. I had to manually remove that wart using my nails. worst year if you ask me. -
I was grade 8 around this time, I started to think I looked cute but was still quite the same -
this was the time when I always wore a face mask to cover my face. This was also the first selfie I took that shows how confident I became. Though I was hesitant to post this picture back then, I genuinely thought that it was too good to hide. This picture shows exactly the start of my confidence coming back after nearly 5 years of feeling ugly. -
This was the time when I finally became confident. I remember that I woke up one day and just decided enough is enough. I started really studying, reviewing, doing my school works, styling what I wear, studying how to pose, and even socializing (all of which I didn't like doing because I preferred to be secluded.) This picture was taken while I was on a friendly date with my friend. -
this was a time when I finally became confident in taking selfies. When I had no makeup on, I would pose in a goofy manner, but when I am all dressed up, I would take selfies more seriously. I also became a lot more acting on social media (mainly tiktok and instagram) and posted my selfies there. -
I started to be confident in taking full body pictures. I even made sure that the background looks okay. Finally, I stopped thinking that I'm ugly. I got out of that phase, but I am still shy in terms of socializing. You can see in the picture how content I am with myself and how I have accepted how I look while working with what I have. The rest of the pictures are from this year, 2025
