Be You

In the Age of Information where people post on social media their shapely figures, pimple-free skin, career promotions, blissful relationships, and everything else fake that makes for thousands of followers, it is ironically birds who remind us what it is to be true to ourselves. Birds are perfectly content with faded feathers, wrinkly legs or disproportionate beaks. Rather than envying popular feathered influencers such as flamingos, even the ‘plain and boring’ little brown sparrows are happy with who they are. Birds show us that our self-esteem is never dependent on what other’s think. They teach us how to be true to ourselves.
