Mirror Challenge
Look into the mirror for at least one minute, into your own eyes. Into your soul. Not about how you look, but look into yourself through the mirror. Write what you saw and felt.

“Because at the end of the day all you have is yourself and that has to be enough.”

At the end of the day I have me, myself. If everything were to cease existing there I would be clutching myself until the end of my days.

Is that supposed to make me like myself?

Because

it doesn’t.

I’m a trash person.

To the core.

I treat those around me worse than I treat myself -

and I’m an anemic, depressed, polyp with an aptitude for whiskey.

When people ask me how I actually am I look them in the eyes and say, “Oh, I’m fine”, as if life is a gumdrop-rainbows-and-fluffy-kitten filled world with happiness and giggles.

Why would I want to spend a lifetime with a person who can’t find the energy to finish a book these days?

or clean their room?

or pay their bills? Not even pay them on time...just pay them.

I’m lazy.

People say, “you are what you do”.

Well, then I guess I’m nothing.

I’m not even sure why I look in the mirror because as far as I’m concerned there’s nothing there.
