with every selfie welfie
do I
freezer-frame my heart,
define my life
with likes,
hide from flutter flamed
wild waves
which could break me
melt me
make me more
than just
an ice-cube tray
full of mirror-me photo-op
shots?
I guess today was National Selfie Day and it got me to wondering…

Hi, my name is Kae Bucher. Thanks for stopping by. I was born in the Florida Keys, but grew up in the Bay Area before migrating south for college. I completed my bachelor’s in English at Fresno Pacific University in California, where I minored in Christian ministry. I have also had the privilege of serving as a youth pastor. In addition to teaching special needs students and raising four children, I also studied Special Education as a graduate student at FPU. I have now been writing for over twenty years. Recently, I have written articles for iPatriot, and I am in the process of converting my front room into a greenhouse. I like storing humor and greenery, weeds and poetry, in mental tin cans. You will find my humanitarian dreams and political leanings organized accordingly. Feel free to dig through my buckets… View all posts by Kae Bucher

Pretty sad though: the attachment to selfies and placing value on “like” totals. Must be agonizing for youth with low self esteem.

I want to know how girls take wonderful selfies, reveal it. 😀. When I be in it I look similar to my passport pic, not knowing what’s happening. Therefore I don’t take selfies especially with girls. I don’t have any pose. I hate that. For real. 😐
