So when I remembered, I just threw on Igwe&#8217;s shirt and took a picture. Day 2 and 3 were better, and I have no idea what happened on Day 4 and every day after that. I even had my own little hashtag #10DaysOfSelfieChallenge and I was balling &#8212; for 3 days.<\/p>\n<p>So I&#8217;m going to start it again. Yup. At this point, I&#8217;m doing it because I cannot stand you knowing that I started something and <del>didn&#8217;t finish<\/del> failed at it, so I&#8217;ll finish it. I have to finish it; it&#8217;s only 1o days. I know I said it before, but I really, really do envy people that have something to say\/show on social media everyday. I have nothing to say. The stupid part of me saying that I don&#8217;t have anything to put on Instagram is that during the day, I actually take some interesting pictures, but I just don&#8217;t ever get to put them on Instagram.<\/p>\n<p>Not to worry, come tomorrow, a selfie will go on Instagram &#8211; by hook or by crook. And I&#8217;ll start it from Day 1 again, seeing as the one I started should have ended on February 26th. If you are on Instagram, please feel free to join in on this self-induced torture.
