A reflection can be so many things. It can either show you who you are or change your perspective all together. Windows, mirrors, water, shiny metals, screens, oh so many ways to see your reflection. Find it. Look. Study. Think now what do you see looking back. Do you see your flaws and hardships? Do you see everything you wish you could be? Do you see dreams and wishes lost? Stop here. Did I guess your thoughts correctly? Did you only see the negatives looking back at you? Tell me why is that. Why is it so easy to see the lies, deceit, the hurt, to see everything we're not. Yes we are imperfect we're only human right. So we mess up we make mistakes. Now look again. This time see only the positive. Come on I know you can do it. See your beauty for who you are. See what you have accomplished thus far in life, careers, college degrees, families, home, jobs, helping others in need even if it's only a kind smile. So tell me can you see it? Come on now do it just for me it will make me happy. Look at your reflection and smile because no matter what you wish to see I know you're beautiful and I know you have accomplished good things. Therefore you should be able to smile and know that reflection you see is of a wonderful soul who lives the best they can and that my darlings is something to be proud of. So don't dread what you see looking back, instead be proud be very proud. Now tell me, what would you see in my reflection?
I see a wonderful young women, a young women that loves with all her heart and soul, one that has been through bad things but has prevailed with strength. Amy I see your compassion for others, your love for animals and your friends, I see so many positive things.
