Two years ago I bought an iPhone, and used it to take street and regular pictures everyday.
Around this time I joined Instagram and had a discovery. I had taken a picture of a dinosaur in my living room, as well as others pictures I uploaded to IG.
Usually I averaged around 50 to 100 likes, but this picture of a dinosaur reached 200 likes very quickly. I immediately questioned where this magic came from, and immediately discovered the answer.

“I’ll be there for you”
“It was frustrating typing into Google ‘how do I tell my boyfriend about my scars’,” Michelle Elman told BuzzFeed News.
After the picture went viral, Elman was flooded with positive feedback. But she felt she hadn't told the whole story.
"I was getting all these messages and the messages weren't about the scars as much as [they were] about the story," she told BuzzFeed News. "I really wanted to make the story behind scars and how scars impact [people's lives].
"With the first post some people thought it was superficial, but it's not, because it has a sociological affect on someone. When you get these unfortunate situations where people stare at you weirdly, it affects your self-esteem, it affects your confidence. It has broader implications that people don't think about."
"People would give me funny looks because of my scars, but no one was having an actual conversation about it," Elman said. "It was frustrating typing into Google 'how do I tell my boyfriend about my scars', and I realised that no one is having this conversation."
Elman suffered from a brain tumour when she was younger. "No one actually told me that to remove [it], they were going to have to shave my hair off," she said.
"So I woke up with a half-shaved head ... thinking I am not normal any more. To a child, you just want to fit in with your friends. And that's why I wanted to make it into a bigger conversation."
The 22-year-old added: "I started volunteering at Great Ormond Street, I was walking around the ward and all I could think about was the fact that every single one of these children would leave here with a scar. This isn't a conversation held anywhere. And that's why the video happened."
IT WAS A PNINA TORNADO.

Like why J.J. Abrams made Harrison Ford cry. SPOILERS for one of the most successful movies ever made!
As early as a month after J.J. Abrams landed the job of directing Episode VII in January 2013, producer and Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy began employing a small army of concept illustrators to begin imagining the world of the movie — following in the footsteps of the creative process for George Lucas’s original Star Wars movie, much of which grew from Ralph McQuarrie’s art.
The Secrets of "The Force Awakens": A Cinematic Journey — the behind-the-scenes documentary that premiered at the 2016 SXSW Film Festival in advance of the digital and Blu-ray release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens in April — showcases a great deal of art that never made the finished film, like an evocative field of broken TIE-fighter cockpits. Most prominently, there were several images of Luke Skywalker in action, including a shot of him holding a lightsaber, and another shot of him holding Darth Vader’s helmet.
Lucasfilm
The task of casting an unknown to play Rey — a character who had to be at once fierce and vulnerable, earnest and capable — was a daunting one for Abrams and his team. But the documentary includes footage of one of Ridley’s auditions, in which Kylo Ren tries to use the Force to get inside Rey’s head, and it is clear the part was hers. "She just blew my mind," Abrams says in The Secrets of "The Force Awakens": A Cinematic Journey. "She's reaching this depth of struggle, and tears are streaming down her face. … I thought, Oh my god."
Lucasfilm
Abrams estimates that Boyega auditioned nine times before he was cast as the erstwhile Stormtrooper. The doc stitches together three of those auditions to recreate the scene in which Finn admits that he's rescuing Poe because he needs a pilot. (And even at that stage, the British-born Boyega was using an American accent for the role.)
Lucasfilm
In The Secrets of "The Force Awakens": A Cinematic Journey, audiences finally get to see footage from that fateful first table read of the entire cast.
And since Mark Hamill had no lines to speak as Luke Skywalker, Abrams asked the actor to read through all the stage directions. "Usually, the director does that," Hamill says in the documentary. "But in this case, he said he wanted to observe."
The final line of the screenplay? "The promise of an adventure just beginning."
