Mirrors

“My mirror staring back at me.”

-Justin Timberlake

Though I am not a big fan of JT whenever I hear this song I think about the meaning of that one lyric, and for some reason it really captivates me. I mean what does that even mean?

When I look in the mirror I see someone I don’t want to see, a little over weight gangly arms fluffy hair ugly eyes, we all have things that we don’t like. But have you ever looked in one mirror and seen one thing and then looked in another and seen something else? My bathroom mirror plays tricks and so do car windows, I like what I see in the Starbucks mirror but I look ugly in my hand mirror. We all know tricks on social media [Duck face and such.] but what about in real life? I mean I know how to make my eyes look bigger and I know how to eat well and exercise but there are somethings that just can’t be changed. And while I really want to say that I like how I look, I really don’t. The thing is I don’t feel comfortable going out of the house without make up. And if I wear a shirt that even shows a little of my stomach’s outline I need to change it unless I worked out a lot the night before. And thats just how it is, people can tell me that I look fine all they like but no one can stop me from feeling un-pretty. [For those of you who understood that reference I applaud you.]

So you may be asking yourself what the point of this blog post is. Well I have learned a couple of things when in the process of learning how to feel nice about myself and I just figured I would list them and then maybe later I will have a point to all this nonsense.

1. Taking a jog to start off my morning

2. Looking in one of the mirrors that make me look pretty

3. putting on chapstick- it makes me feel more fresh

3. Washing my face and brushing my hair

4. Putting on a nice shirt and pants

5. And last but not least doing push ups and sit ups at night right after brushing teeth.

I like to maintain this routine and when things get in the way of it, that kinda puts me off for a bit.

I try to do this even on sleepover nights and mornings but it really makes a difference.

Now I want to get to something else that is on my mind.

Perspective:

Has your parent ever compliment you? Yes [If the answer is no contact me on twitter and I can support you.]

And when they did did you tell them they had to say that because they are your parent? Yes

When I talk about different mirrors and seeing different things I think about different people seeing different things. Now I have had people tell me sickly that I look nice and others politely cough when I asked if I looked okay- or not politely- Moving right along I think that everyone sees something different when they look at you. So since my parents love me so much and they know me so well I think they see something different than other people. Meaning as relationships grow people see a different person. I know I have done this. Its like when you read a book and the author does not describe a character and then you just start imagining this beautiful person even though in reality they aren’t. I think its all about personality.

So when you started reading this you probably thought I was going to say how people are beautiful but instead I am going to take my own spin on things.

I am here to have the nerve to say that if you don’t act beautiful you aren’t going to be beautiful on the outside. So if you act crappy to other people your gonna look like crap. You know how Shai Woodly wears no makeup? Well notice how beautiful she is, thats because she is [probably- you never know until you meet her] a good person! So while on the one hand I understand trying to look good on the outside don’t let it tear up your insides. Smiles are the most attractive curves and if you got them then nothing else matters. So while I am not going to say your beautiful no matter what I am going to say if you act beautiful you are beautiful. You don’t have to wear shorts, in fact the only time I was called sexy sincerely was when I was in a l was in a skirt that reached the floor with a button up shirt that buttoned up to the top of my neck.

My assignment to my dear nonexistent readers is to look up “glee-your never fully dressed without a smile” on Youtube. Its a really great song and has to do with smiling. So remember when you look in the mirror if you act beautiful you are beautiful!

Sorry its been a while since I have posted and sorry because this is unedited and I haven’t really gonna over it but these are my thoughts and I think that they are completely relevant.

So thank you for reading if you even read this at all and I hope you have an amazing day!

Also please comment if there is anything you want me to talk about and I will do my best. Also remember you can always talk to me! from needing advice to a movie recommendation, I have it all.

I hope you really enjoyed this post!

Sincerely
