Spent years hiding from the camera, but here iam

i know this seems more of a fitcheck kinda post but just wanted to share my thoughts

Basically what the title says...chinnapati nunchi camera, photos ante 10 feet distance lo undedhanni because i hated being perceived through a lens, photos had a way of bringing out every little flaw in me. Instead of seeing a memory, i would only see things I wanted to change

So yeah evarina photo teesta ante chalu...elagina tappinchukovalani chusedhanni inka tappaka photo lo unte evaro camera venakala gun point chestunnattu expression petti freeze aypotha but eppudu manasulo undedhi na chuttu unna vallu antha happy ga valla moments capture chestunnaru when will i be able to do that ani

Na life lo ila jarigindhi, nenu ikkadiki vella, ee point of time lo ila unna, ila feel ayya, veelatho unna ani chuskovadaniki chupinchukotaniki em levu so i felt missed out on having memories that I can actually revisit

Fast forward to my brother's wedding where he was getting married to the love of his life and everyone's absolutely happy, having a great time including me. Most importantly i was feeling really good about myself and i rarely feel that way so i really really wanted to seize n hold onto that moment

Ekkuva alochinchakunda I just went upto the photographer and asked them to take pictures of me( like literally first time ala adiga nenu) and the pics turned out to be beautiful not because i looked pretty or smtg but because i finally stopped looking for perfection and felt confident, comfortable in my own skin. The photographer did a really good job, props to him

i know these are just pictures, idhi chinna matter aa kaavochu , malli chaduvuthunte naku aa koncham sodhi la anipinchindhi haha ..but yeah this is a core memory ma anna pelli lo, a win is a win no matter how small rightt..something iam definitely gonna look back on and for sure smile upon

Here's to finally stepping into the frame and seeing myself in a way i never could before❤️✨
