I take my #selfies for the purpose of building my #selfesteem. I know I am not more beautiful than other people. I know I am not more popular. The number of friends who view the my #photography is very small. But they are survival of sorts.

Yes, I am a wreck sometimes. I don't believe in taking the pains to look like a person who I am not. If my hair is a mess, then it is a mess. That is how I am. Many people cannot afford to be like I am. They cannot afford to let their #depression show.

When I was in Scouts, there was this kid who was obsessed by the fact that I didn't party my hair. Never a meeting or a campout went by without him commenting on it. Truth was I found it hard to part my hair. But this was Scouts -- you didn't mention weakness.

So I told him that I was styling my hair in the new partless look. He would have none of this, but the miracle was, it shut him up.

Yes, I am a disaster area in many of these shots.

I am not sure if I was manic or depressed in the last picture. But when I posted it "today", I named it "Ennui".
