I’m no good at selfies, but I also love them unabashedly. Here’s the trick: don’t wait to take a photo of yourself doing something special, in a special place, or looking special. Just take one! I like seeing your face, and I like showing you mine from time to time too.

Here’s another trick: don’t apologize for liking the things you like. Like the things you like, and if someone has a problem with that, let them deal with it. Earnestness is underrated.
