Visible dark circles under my eyes, forming lines… must be wrinkles! 3
medium size pimples on my forehead, looking like it's due to pop out any moment. Another one on my left cheek, almost healed and
is now peeling off. These are some of the ghastly details visible in my face while staring at the mirror.
My lips’ fine. It must be the canola-honey balm stick ( Gifted
to me from Korea) that’s keeping it supple despite the heavy nicotine it endures
since I’m back into smoking again… You can tell that its slightly burned. But that doesn’t stop me from lightin’’ up one stick of my Esse menthol, I
puffed the filter, gasp a bit and finally release the remaining smoke produced
in my mouth.
While puffing my cigarette, I am still staring at the reflection
in the mirror .. This time focusing on the nose part. It
looks good. There’s nothing much going on.
I put down my cigarette for a while on an ashtray beside me and
went back to my business of inspecting my appearance.
My eye brows’ quite messy. I had it shaped thru “ threading” last month, a Moroccan lady did it and cost me AED 20 in return.
She’s an expert in shaping brows. Now there’s already growing hair in
some areas. I reached for my tweezers and began pulling the unwanted hairs
one by one until it's back on its clean shape.
My hair looks healthy and
awesome. Had it cut, styled & dyed in loud color just recently, seeing my hair nice & flowing sends a smile on my face. “you gooow
girl!!” in my mind, now I’m smirking.
I touched my face & there's some rough
areas around, dry skin it is!
I can tell that the “piercing” stares of my eyes is ratifying
how exhausted the person is in front of the mirror. Long hours & stressed
at work, financial matters, relationship etc. etc.
are few of my many daily struggles
in life and I guess this contributes big time to
my poor outward appearance.
A one on one encounter with myself in the
mirror is somewhat creepy, weird and crazy. It made me realize a lot of things.
Like I am getting old, looking less attractive, losing my confidence based on my physical attributes.
But above this, it made me realize that, “That woman in the mirror who lose her charm
& physical beauty have gone through so much in life, been beaten out with misfortunes
but she remain tough, she is still breathing, fiercer than ever. That woman is
me.
Changes in our physical appearance as we
grow old is inevitable. Every little details in our face & body will change in due time, physical beauty has its expiration. But the beauty & strength we have within, that's natural, therefore its everlasting. That’s what we need to keep and emanate because it gives a
blooming reflection outside, that’s real beauty.
I am a beautiful person because God made me that way. :)
