One of my teachers asked our class. "If you will ask something to a magical mirror, what would it be and why?"
The question is famous to all the girls since almost all of them know the story of that magical mirror that is featured in the story "Snow White." It's clear and so easy to answer for those who know. "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?" all of them answered.
Well, for me, that is not the question that I want to ask on the mirror. There are so many things that I want to ask. But, I only have one important question in mind that I also need an urgent answer. This is what I want to say:
"Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the least appreciated person of the world?"
And in the single glance,I already know the answer...
Yup, I know. You won't believe me?
*sigh*
Well, I really know myself.
Maybe, you will ask too.
Why would I still ask that thing in a magical mirror if I already know the answer?
Well...well...well... *in a Maleficent voice*
Have you ever watched a movie that has a bad and sad ending? When you rewatch that movie, you hope that there could be a better ending this time. But no, it doesn't happen. Then why??? It is because you already saw the outcome and conclusion. And well you??You are still hoping for something better.
This is what I feel when I am in the front of the magic mirror. I'm hoping that everything would change in just one question.
"A mirror should make you feel better. It has the reflections of your body and soul. So why frown in front of it?" This is what my momma said to me.
The mirror... I don't see my reflection on it. I can't see my true self. How come an easy-go-luck-girl that I'm portraying when I'm not in front of the mirror cannot be seen in the mirror?
What I'm seeing right now is a... depressed and a suicidal person.
This what the mirror always show me. The "underappreciated girl." It's not just because of what she has done or what she did. But even though she make a lot of efforts, still, people will judge her and doubt her abilities. Because of that, the girl is full of insecurities and has a low self-esteem.
The mirror can't lie....
The mirror only holds the hurtful truth of life...
The mirror is a painful thing that hurts you a lot...
I don't want too look. That's what I should say. In that way, I won't hurt myself anyway. But everytime that I didn't look at the mirror, I always feel like I'm living in an unrealistic world.
And then, I realized something. I hope this could be the best solution.
I should let the girl in the mirror get out and be exposed to my world. At first, it is very hard for me to deal with her. But little by little, I've found out that this is the best way to show others that the girl outside the mirror is not really the girl in the inside.
Then, they all thought me how to find comfort in pain. Those who really believed in me, accept me and help to get over it while those who just stay because they want something from me, they already left. I'm not mad nor disappointed. I feel relieved because with what happen, I find out who are the real people who loved me.
Maybe that girl in the mirror doesn't show bad side at all. It just shows the hidden you that is needed to exposed and it is up to you if you can overcome it or let that "other you" conquer your world. The mirror may be hurtful but it holds the greatest truth.
So girl...whenever you look at the mirror, don't just look at it... Go and Reflect to it! A girl like you shouldn't be blind by a beautiful lie. Reflect and have a beautiful life.
