She seemed uncommonly nice and admirably modest
until one looked at her Instagram account

chock full of photos of herself, as if she
were self obsessed.

I’ve seen that trend with other women,
instagram pages blown up with photos of themselves.

I don’t understand why they post so many of those photos,
and I don’t think it’s because they’re in love with themselves.

Maybe, like women with applying makeup to their faces
all over the world,

it’s just a natural, female thing.
