When You Look in the Mirror
Posted by sandynads
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.

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 😉
These days, yes-- 🙂

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 🙂
