Mirror


I went to my counselor today and the session was really great. It really made me ask myself some questions about my life. I told her how I was feeling a certain way and if that was really a "feeling". She said "Of course it is". But she also explained how it was something deeper than what I was feeling on the surface- that it was something about how I felt about myself inside but manifesting on the outside. She posed the question, "Who do you see when you look in the mirror?" Of course, the physical was what first came to my mind. But no, she took it deeper, she told me to look into the eyes of who I saw in the mirror and really look at that girl. And write about what I see. Wow- talk about a challenge. It's so easy to look and write down what I see on the surface, but to really dig deep and try to express what I feel when I really look at me? I think that's something we all should do...not just me. And to be honest, I haven't looked in that mirror since I came home from that appointment. What will I see when I really look?
