I love bein Melissa, I love that I'm my own person, I don't need or want to be any other person but me.. I have my ups and downs, I'm not perfect,I make mistakes, I try to see the good in everyone...
I am a good friend, I'm loyal,honest,real,not fake and I protect my friends.I love photography, I do it for me, its my passion. I don't need to or want to compete with anyone. Some Judge me or maybe a lot judge me but I really hope everyone who Judges me, had the chance of actually gettin to know ME not the person you're judging...I might actually surprise people lol.im very flattered that I inspire people, if its a dandelion, road, a dragonfly pic, maybe even with jus my words.. Im flattered. I keep to myself, i dont do drama, dont respest people who lies, dont respect hypercrites, if people need to talk bad about anyone , makeup lies, and act like they are better then anyone, they can stay away... Talkin bad about someone and doin exactly what they are complainin bout is a fake person.. Those are the type of people that need to be watch out for... Again pay close attention to those people. My parents have always told me to be Jus myself and people will like, love, or be inspired by jus bein me... To my awesome friends and family on here.... I love you guys, You guys are the best and I don't know what I would do without you. Thanks for the support and friendship.Again I'm ME, nobody can ever tell me i'm not me. Im unique and original,cause Im me , doesn't make me better or any less then anyone else. So Here is to a awesome Summa... xoxo ♥

Hey its my favorite model. Great shot of you being you. Love it

Like the old movie line..."You aught to be in pictures." Nicely captured selfie. Be still my foolish heart. :^)

i had to award this for the statement of self!

Platinum

I love the statement that goes with this glorious selfie. It's a shame that you have such an unscrupulous person copying your work and making snide comments.
WE LOVE YOU........

And its funny how im bein "accused" of things but yet they are doin exactly what they accuse me of doin... Maybe they want to be me lol. Too funny, flatterin, and kinda creepy. Thats why im happy to be Jus Me.. Love u too

yes you are 'jus Melissa' - beautiful, intelligent, and not , meant to dwell on these things. No one 'owns' nature - it is all of ours to partake of. We all are inspired by your work - and we learn from your work - as you learn from ours - we share, we enjoy and always want to learn new things. None of us pay attention to anyone who is 'dragging you down' - so allow yourself that FREEDOM to not do it as well dear friend. Don't hang onto it, put it in a box and 'bury it deep' - really - put it in a box - all of it - and Bury It. Time to say Goodbye to all that is 'not lifting you up'. No more energy wasted on anything that makes you look 'down' and not 'up'. Look up into the Sunshine and let it 'heal' you. I think of you as one of those Beautiful Butterflies riding the Breezes in your Images - none of us are better than anyone else - just as you said. Just 'fly' Melissa - just 'fly' - and share all that beauty with those of us who wait to see what you find as you fly along your way. You make our days more beautiful - just the way your are. Your talent displayed in your Portfolio delights us all. Thanks for being here, Gail
