Do you accept yourself as you are externally?
When you look in the mirror you see your reflection. But do you realize that you really see yourself?
I do not trust mirrors and it often happens with me that when I look in the mirror and see myself, I don't recognize "that person" or simply ask a question " Who are you, there?" " It's me, you.."

I've accepted myself and come to accept who I am but mirrors lie to me. It's like a mystery.
I know it's kind of strange things I'm talking about but if you have ever had the similar feeling, share with me.

Answer

It's always interesting when I accidentally catch a reflection of myself in a store window. Because I wasn't planning for it and don't have time to adjust my face or my body language, or turn on my self-perception filter, I momentarily see myself as a stranger. I'd would say honestly that I do "accept" myself, in a sort of grudging way as "OK, good enough" or "I'll do."

Answer

Very nice creative writing, Elena!

It reminds me, in a way, of Lou Read's song with Velvet Underground: "I'll Be Your Mirror."

Wonderful lyrics and a fascinating subject to explore...
