Thought #1: When people change...
People change. That is a fact of life. They can change physically, and also mentally. This week I spoke with a friend I haven't seen in over a year. She informed me that she has now reached 5 feet in height, but I always think of her as the little girl who was just above my waist in height! It's so strange how people can become so different given a little time. I've been reflecting on the past year recently. WOW, I've come a long way! The biggest change for me in the past year was moving across the country, but that's not the only change. If you look at how I was a year ago, you would find a confused little mouse, afraid to even stand in front of others. Now, I find myself the 'leader' of my group of friends (well, often times), I'm no longer afraid of what people think of my thoughts or beliefs, I can voice my opinion, and I speak in front of others (yay theater).Sometimes I wonder if change is bad, but then I realize that there is so much more and I shouldn't be afraid of change, I should embrace it.
Thought #2: Mirrors.
Mirrors can show you many things. They can show you how you look, how you feel, what others say about you, what you think of yourself, they are even used in literature and theatre and movies for special reasons. In Macbeth, a mirror shows many kings who are descendants of Banquo. But mirrors can only show you what you believe is there. There are times when I look in the mirror and I can only see blemishes, my mind doesn't even remind me of my eyes which bring me many compliments,or my hair which people always tell me is beautiful. A lot of people use so much makeup, but they don't realize that they are beautiful even without it. If others say you look stupid, or clownish, then that is all you will see (this has happened before, I'm sure to MANY people). The important thing to remember when you look in the mirror is that you are you, and that's just the way it should be. No one can choose what you see in the mirror except YOU.
