2013 — Ugly

In 2013, you took a photo in a dirty mirror, wearing a sweater with an owl on it, holding a Starbucks Frappuccino, with your friend making bunny ears behind you. You posted it without checking the lighting. And it got twelve likes.

That wasn’t ugly. That was real.

So the next time you see a throwback tagged #Ugly2013, don’t cringe. Salute it. It’s a monument to the last year we were all blissfully, terribly, gloriously unpolished. ugly 2013
