I sat in front of the mirror to talk to my reflection

Today I sat in front of the mirror to talk to my reflection, to accept that I am not perfect, but that is how I love myself. To look at myself for the first time beyond my simple appearance and understand that what I am and how I am reflects each and every one of the experiences I have lived.

Today I have learned that life is reflected in the skin and hopes in the eyes, and although they say that the eyes are the mirror of the soul, they are also the door to hope. Perhaps it is difficult to look in the mirror and see not only our appearance, but to see beyond our own reflection, to see that We are really not just made of flesh and blood, but we are made of experiences, hopes and dreams.

We are not just flesh and bones, we are what we have been, and at the same time, what we will be.

Wrinkles are the reflection of worries in the eyes and laughter in the mouth. They are the reflection of the words that we have not said and those that escaped us with force and later we regret. They are a part of us, a part that helps build us, a part that tells the world what we are like.

Perhaps looking directly at your soul instead of your appearance, when you look in the mirror, is a very complicated task. It usually happens when we reproach ourselves for the past instead of looking to the future, when we get hung up on what we lost instead of valuing everything we have obtained. When We pretend that our skin and our physique are perfect, made of porcelain, as if we were lifeless dolls and experiences we had not lived.

The past serves to learn

But it turns out that we are more than what can be seen, we are the past, and its reflection runs through our skin. Because the past has taught us where we come from, but it does not determine where we are going. Because we are the ones who direct our feet.

Although it must be taken into account that The past is used to learn, not to get hooked on it. The past is part of who we are, but it does not define what we can be. The past, after all, is the structure, the bricks that have built us, but not our interior.

Remember that we are not the reflection of what determined the past, we are what we strive to be tomorrow. And although we keep our own past in mind, let’s learn from our mistakes and not let them determine each and every one of our steps.

If you decide to give up and let your past be your present, you will be a mere spectator of your life and you will stop living it.

The future is a reflection of what can be

Listening to my reflection, speaking without fear of the future that I wanted to see through the mirror, I have understood that the desire to fight for what I really want has more value than the setbacks of the past from which I come. Because Many times we do not have to focus on reality as it is, but on what we can achieve if we do what we set out to do.

It may take us a while to obtain the future we want, but only those who are patient and do not give up get what they want, no matter how distant their goals may be. Not giving up in the face of difficulties is always a virtue, learning from mistakes is a skill and not getting attached to the stone that caused us to stumble is a sign of intelligence.

Today I sat in front of the mirror to talk to my reflection and I understood that I am everything I have lived and I will be everything I want to be. It is in my hands to fight for my dreams and learn from my mistakes. In short, dreams are within the reach of those who know themselves beyond the image they project, because no one is perfect, but they are wisely imperfect.
