Me and my feathery friends. This is 3 of the 19 that we’ve hatched! I’m strongly considering breeding chickens as a hobby. They’re utterly wonderful creatures and the cutest things ? Chickens featured .. Peanut, Beaker and Ruff

I'm under no illusion about how rough my short track skating is, but it IS becoming more enjoyable as the years go on #EveryDayIsLegDay

Gymnast Marco Lodadio gives blue steel with his lesson in humility.

La pubblico per accrescere il mio ego, ma in realtà non c’è niente di strano no?! Le persone lo fanno tutti i giorni e quello che più ci piace è avere la sensazione di essere etichettati come belli solo perché abbiamo qualche “follower” (che magari vive in Vietnam) in più rispetto a qualcun’altro. Stiamo valorizzando persone che non hanno un briciolo di dignità e che venderebbero la madre per un po’ di notorietà! Ma qual’è la corretta definizione di “figo”? Io dubito del mio aspetto il 90% delle volte che mi guardo allo specchio, mi sento insicuro molto spesso e vivo una vita faticosa con i piedi per terra con la consapevolezza di non essere Nessuno... quindi non capisco come fa chi crea un profilo ricco solo di falsità per accrescere qualcosa che in realtà non esiste, a non avere la sensazione di vivere nella finzione. Stiamo creando un mondo di amici finti, di falsi “mi piace” e di chiacchiere che vengono fatte solo nelle caselle postali dei social! Ci vuole umiltà ragazzi, a fare i fighi sui social ci vuole solo il giusto filtro e un bravo fotografo... della serie #erimegliosuinstagram #nocodedipaglia #openyourmind
