SEC-S18-W4: My selfies and me : The show goes on

To be honest, I am a lousy selfie taker, but as you said, nowadays we take selfies to capture special moments with family and friends, and that's true.

  
But to take part in [SEC-S18W4: My selfies and me I am posting a few of of my selfies.

  

Even if I am not much into selfies, as a nature lover, I wish to keep my memories alive, so I take random photos even while walking alone.

Most of my selfies are real selfies in the sense that my wife has her own interests and she doesn't want to walk long distances as I do, so I walk in groups or alone, and while alone, I want to record my memories, so I click a picture or two.

I love biking long distances, so a selfie is definitely a way to capture that moment and show the world, "Yes, I did it." and as you said, "Yes, I was there."

Sometimes I do something that I don't do in my normal routine, so I wish to capture those moments, and a selfie is the way to show the world, "Yes, I did this." I did this car wash, and it was not easy to handle this selfie, but I did it.

For instance, I was sitting at Doha airport for all of 19 hours as my connecting flight was missed, and the flight they adjusted me into was 16 after that flight, which made it a 19-hour wait. That was not so easy as there were too few passengers due to the pandemic, so I kept capturing selfies as my allotted internet data was also exhausted.

There are times I feel like taking a break from working constantly on my computers and laptops, both officially and unofficially. I turn around take a selfie and send it to my loved ones.

As I said, I am not much into selfies, but there are times when I take photos with my loved ones, my daughter in this case, or vice versa, and these selfies become my lifelong companions. When I feel alone, I open my album, have a look, and feel rejuvenated.

Yes, there is never a single occasion when I am alone in the lap of Mother Nature and I let go of a chance to take a picture to save it as my memory which works as a reminder when I describe the place in my travel blogs.

Then there are selfies I did for a purpose like this one if I remember right was a demand of the contest I participated in that asked me to take a selfie in front of a mirror and I did that.

I have thousands of memories while walking in the forests, parks, and famous places and taking a selfie just to remind myself that, "Yes, I was there"

Then I remember I was at Cockington Green Gardens last month which is nothing less than Wonderland Of Gulliver and I took at least 200 photos of that place which I will post in Steemit when I find an appropriate opportunity. Here is the selfie I took at the entrance of the garden

As I said I never miss a chance to take a selfie when I want to divert my attention from the computer screen and rest my eyes for a few moments or go into a monotonous situation. There is no better way of giving your eyes a much-needed rest.

There are times when I don't feel like going out when the temperature outside is too hot or cold I finish my workouts on the treadmill in my sitting room and I record that to show to the world that I am still active, kicking, and alive.

I would love to invite @senehasa, @josepha, and @solaymann to show us their activities through the selfies.
