"Am I?"

I look in the mirror. It’s just a glance. No. It’s a stare, now. It’s a gaze. A gaze into the depths of myself. The self that I thought I knew so well. Ha! Funny, isn’t it? Who would have thought I’d be standing in front of the mirror questioning my image like a psychotic lady? My critical hazel eyes look me over. Dad is right. My hair is the color of my eyes. He’s right.
I look through my eyes into the vapor of my air of personality. I don’t see it. Wait, yes, I do. It’s in my messy carelessly curled hair. It’s in my neatly brushed eyebrows. It’s in the nonexistent gaps between my teeth. It’s in the raise of my left eyebrow. It’s in the necklace hanging around my neck. It’s in the earrings I sleep in when I’m lazy. It’s in that second pierce that my dad doesn’t like. It’s in the light hair-like scar to the left of my lips. Imperfections?
I close my eyes. I really think I should get to know me better. How did I let an emotional turmoil rock my solid undeniable knowledge of every aspect of who I am? I let it. That’s right. I did. It’s me who always wants a new experience even if it hurts. I unmerge my top and bottom lashes only to stare back at myself.
I realize that not everything about how I am is in how I look. I smile. I question my happiness. That’s it. I’m not happy anymore. I’m not completely content. This is what I’m so depressed about. I cover my right eye with my hand. That’s more like it. I’m only happy with half of the image in front of me, or is it what’s behind this image? Is it the abstract personality that I can see in every feature of my form. Strange. What has changed?

    You are part of the paparazzi that’s been hounding me. Go away. =P

    On a more serious note; you seem to be evaluating yourself. That, my dear sister, is good. It is tedious, quite tedious as I have come to know, yet you’ll see how golden it is in the long run.

    This shall pass. *hug*

    See? I even hugged you. Hugs make things better remember? =P

  24. 24 Amethyst

    Manutdfanatic
    Lol! Paparazzi don’t give up;p

    Hopefully, it’ll be as golden as I’m wishing for it to be.

    *HUG*

    I never forget that:)
