Our Filtered Images

You know those crappy selfies some of us post on Instagram? I think they actually matter.

I think they matter because they are the veneer and gloss covering the truly beautiful human thing underneath. They matter because they tell us that there are others just like us, searching for a meaningful life, desperate to tell a story with their minutes and hours worth retelling.

They matter because though we may currently be a mere caricature of a worthwhile generation there lies beneath the wreckage of our falsehood the possibility that we might one day become a generation more beautiful than our filtered images.
