When You Look in the Mirror

What do you see? Are you happy and content with the reflection you have staring back at you? Meant as yourself as a whole, not just the physical reflection.

I try to live a life that being able to look at myself (truly looking at who I am) is comfortable. Maybe this is too deep for a Saturday morning 😉

I'M OKAY. MY NOSTRILS ARE A LITTLE WEIRD LOOKING BUT WHATEVER.

If it makes you feel better, I've never looked at someone and been like Damn! They have amazing nostrils! Lol

Workin' on it!

I have a love/hate relationship with myself. Some days I feel like I'm Baws, other times I don't even want to crawl out of bed. I love the confident/arrogant side more tbh, it feels awesome.

Like today, I feel sexy & simply the bomb lol. Don't ask me why because I have no answer, I just feel it. Period. I'd date me if I were a guy today 😄

Water Cup, you have moon in scorpio, dont you?

Yes

All this nostril talk makes me think about boogies on display 😄

I think everyone has moments of self doubt and love themselves more on certain days. I guess I was curious how many people could release enough of their discontent with their past to truly enjoy who they've become.

I personally don't carry baggage. I just carry the lesson learned.

I'll never be content. If I'm not growing and improving, I'm not happy.

I agree 100% what I meant was content to date so to speak. No regrets, no self hate, that kind of content.

When I look in the mirror....

Physically I'm thinking I am so freakin' pretty! And I'm so thankful that I perceive myself to be that way! Some call that arrogance/being conceited, but yet if I were to say, "ugh I'm so freakin' ugly" people would then advise me to get some self-esteem lol (double standard)

Mentally, I'm thinking, wow girl you're so smart & I'm proud of you for overcoming so many obstacles in your life! Get it girl! lol

Even when I've done wrong or have made a bad choice/poor judgment, I simply look in the mirror & remind myself that a lot of things are fixable & that trouble doesn't last always. This erases any guilt/shame I'm feeling in the moment, b/c it reminds me that I'm still human.

And that's ok. Life isn't over b/c I or someone else made a mistake, made a poor choice or things didn't go my way/as planned.

Having 1 on 1's with myself isn't a bashing session (being your own worst enemy) for me. It's a time to reflect & give myself credit for things others hate giving credit for

That is why looking in the mirror isn't as painful for me as it may be for others

i don't look at myself in the mirror often because than i get pissed off that nobody is enjoying this glory.

That should be one of those card posts with the picture of a lady lounging on a chaise 🙂
