I don't think I have a current photo that is my fave, but at one point this was the most photogenic picture I'd taken. I hadn't cut my hair all year because I wasn't going to salons and had thrown out my clippers so a buzzcut was a no-go, and I looked more feminine and "pretty". I often struggle with feeling good in my presentation genderwise vs looking attractive and feeling like I have to choose one or the other. I want to like a picture of me now as much as I liked this one, without any weird "this looks so good but it doesn't look like *me*" feelings.

I found this photo of myself circa ~1994 and loved my energy in it. It’s a tight crop from a larger photo that included my parents. Not sure if this was genuine or a bit of a pose (I can be a ham) but the ennui captures more of my internal energy as an adult than I felt as a kid. Because while I’m a pretty hopeful, positive person, this photo is also how the world - and the experience of being a person in it - can make me feel at least once a day.

I’m wearing makeup and did my hair for the first time in a month so I’m taking enough pictures to last me until i do this again

I was going through pictures from this month and I remember looking exceptionally good that day but this photo somehow didn't catch my eye before. As I caught a glimpse of it in the process of playing around with some editing apps, I saw its beauty, I saw mine too. So effortless yet not careless, with some mystery

Did you know that the music used in the “you wouldn’t steal a car” anti-piracy ad was pirated? Apparently the FONT was stolen too lmaoooooo the irony
