this is why i love her <3

A few things that people don’t  understand about mirrors: first of all mirror is flat against the wall will only ever show the same amount of your body no matter how far you stand back because light travels in straight lines. Secondly, you can get as close as you want to surface and it will never be able to see inside of you. Your mirror is a reflective surface not an x-ray machine. Third, a mirror will never define you because even a dictionary can’t do that. You are the bruises and bloodstains of childhood playgrounds, you are sweat and satire and sewing your favorite dress, you are the fifth grade girl getting her first pair of glasses as well as the seventh grade girl getting her first kiss as well as the nineteen year old who has finally found someone she really actually loves whereas mirrors. Do not come with histories, they are empty. Do not look into them and think “so that’s what I most be”. And if you can't see anything beautiful about yourself, get a better mirror, look a little close, stare a little longer because there's something inside you that made you keep trying despite everyone who told you to quit. You built a cast around your broken heart, and signed it yourself. you signed it "they were wrong"
