I don't know about anyone else but when I wake up I will look in the mirror, when I've finished getting changed I look in the mirror, before I leave the house I look in the mirror. Whenever there is a mirror I will look in it. I don't do it in a vain way, I look to see if I look okay, to check my hair isn't in a state, or I check to see whether there is something on my face or not. But in general I do look in the mirror to see whether I approve of myself.
This needs to stop.
I/you are your/my worst critic. Every time I see that reflection of mine, there is always something I'm not happy with, something I really want to change, like for example my body shape or my face,mostly both. I would like a nice face, I hate the way I look, and my reflection tells me this every time I look at her.
Recently, I've realised that just because I don't like the way I look doesn't mean that other people don't to. I have amazing friends who really don't give a crap about how I look, they love me any ways no matter what (well I bloody hope they do! haha)
So I've made a deal with myself; of course I can still look in mirrors; it's pretty impossible not to, but when I do look even though I know I won't like what I see, I can't tell myself that, I have to walk passed that god damn mirror and not give a shit. I was happy before I seen my reflection so why the hell can't I be happy after seeing it?!
I would also like you to do the same. Everyone has something they want to change about themselves and it gets highlighted whenever they see their reflections, but when you do look in the mirror I want you to forget about the things you don't like, just like what I'm going to start doing. Everyone has their flaws, even the most 'perfect' people doesn't like at least one thing about themselves. You are unique, you can't change the way you are, so accept it and be happy with it, because even though you might not like what you see, other people will.
