🖤 I look at the reflection in the mirror. Am I looking at myself?

Or am I looking at a stranger whose feelings and choices I could not understand anymore?

I look long and hard at the reflection. Do her eyes convey peace and happiness? Or do they battle with angst and restlessness?

This reflection in the mirror is never going to be anything other than exactly what I don’t need in my life.

Lovely writing - thank you for participating with the prompts!

This line makes me sad, though.

This person in the mirror is never going to be anything other than exactly what I don’t need in my life.

I think the person in the mirror is more than she gives herself credit for being.

Our reflections do not lie.
The danger, is in standing too long in examination.

@CookieCrumbs perhaps friend, but the bullets of information and understanding passing before your eyes can become often, overwhelming. Sometimes, we need to turn away from the mirror, as....it never lies.

@Freeranger

And the danger as you say is in our being unprepared to handle the truth?

Freeranger · M

@CookieCrumbs ....Merely, that understanding that if we're honest with ourselves, we cannot outrun what we see, yet if we step away quick enough, we might convince ourselves that we have viewed something else....

A woman’s eyes reflect the beauty ( or the lack thereof) of her heart and soul. Underneath that lies the inner workings of a Swiss watch ! 😉

Mirrors and reflections can be deceiving.

Sometimes your mirror just needs a good cleaning. But sometimes, your mirror can be more like a refugee from a funhouse at a sleazy carnival.

What do you feel about your reflection when seen in the eyes of someone who believes in you?

Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
Why is my reflection someone I don't know? 🎶

@Reject
I love that song 🎶

@CookieCrumbs Human souls are like reflecting water. When seeing ourself all of our movements are opposed to us. Raising our right hand raises the left in our image. We speak or act the opposite of how we truly feel, but when viewing another, we see ourselves in them no matter how much we perceive our contradictory behavior in that likeness. I believe that fundamentally, peoples hearts wish to connect with and accept each other.

Everything OK?

When I look in the mirror I think, "My beard needs a trim."

checkoutanytime · M

I gotta be me
