The mirror can lie
Doesn't show you what's inside--Believe In Me by:Demi Lovato
We can all agree that when looking in a mirror we are either completely unhappy, or pleased with what we see. You see, a mirror not only shows you how you look but it shows how you as an individual see yourself.
I know that I tend to overlook how I see myself in the mirror, I focus on my every imperfection. It's a, "My hair is frizzy," or "what is that on my face. This is so embarassing." Right when I see a flaw I freak out because let's face it, I am going to face other people today. Oh no, people...run? Yes, really scary, I know.
You would think that by now I would realize that as humans, we all have flaws. Realization hasn't seemed to hit me yet.
But I shouldn't worry about how I look on the outside, it's more about giving myself a heart check. What if everyone around you saw your every emotion, and thought? Would they like the person they see? Picture it, everything you thought or every emotion you were feeling, just written right there on your forhead for everyone to see. It just screams out 'Hello world! Here I am, it's me Kayley! Here are all my real thoughts, and all my honesty right here on my forehead for you to see. Can you except me now that you know who I really am?'
It's like the song by Casting Crowns, Love Them Like Jesus. The title in itself explains the song. Despite who the person is, what they are going through, how they appear to you, just love them like Jesus. It's hard, and I will be the first to tell you that I struggle with it. His love never fails, no matter who we are as a person or how we look. He doesn't care about our outward appearance, he looks at the heart. I can't imagine how the world would look if we accepted people for who they truly are, and not just by their looks. Better perhaps?

honesty personified once again. i think everyone looks in the mirror and finds flaws, even if they act like they are perfect. but really, everyone is insecure. it's how different people handle it that leads to others' judgement. some let it get the best of them and are unhappy with life, and others pick out other peoples inperfections to make themselves feel better. now i have to think of how to put my real self out there correctly. haha:D very insightful. love you dearest!!!
