Quinn 5:54am The living room was dull. The brilliant fall light that poured through the windows was diminished as it passed through the decades of tar from her fathers’ cigarettes.

Stop Editing Your Photos
Every day, millions of edited selfies are posted on apps like Instagram, SnapChat or Facebook to create a vision of our society deemed as “beautiful.” No, I am not talking about the holiday filters or puppy ears, I am referring to the filters and editing that we intentionally use to change our physical appearance to reflect an image of ourselves that is unreal. It is my strong opinion that edited photos are not only ruining our lives but those lives we touch on social media, whether they be friends or strangers.
