Authentic Self- Janiyen Al-abdullah



For an authentic me I decided to take pictures of things that are either stopping me or helping me become my true self. The first picture is of a Polaroid that I have taken of burning money. Money is the root of most of my stress and problems that I have in my life, and I know it isn’t something that I cannot fix quickly, but must learn to find away around it so that it doesn’t bring me down. But if I could I would travel all over the world if money wasn’t a problem.
My next Polaroid is of skin care. When I was younger I wore a lot of makeup, it helped me to cover my insecurities that has still followed me into adult hood. But the difference now is that Ive decided to stop hiding behind makeup, stopped feeling sorry for myself and started to look for a solution to fix my insecurities and learn to love me for me.
Last Polaroid is one of the two things Ive learned to love while coming to college. Meditation has helped me in more ways than one, with the stress of a new year and the unknown of what is to come. While the wine has been a treat for myself when Ive worked hard, to help me celebrate the little things in life and enjoy the company I’m in.
