Do you love the person you see in the mirror?

On my good days, I look in the mirror and like the person I see. On my bad days, I look in the mirror and hate the person I see.
On most days, I look in the mirror and am both sad and proud of the person I see. I don’t know the last time I loved the person I saw, though.

🙌🙌🙌Thank you for this brilliant mirror poem! 😉After 50 years of life I’ve finally began to see my beauty and love myself. “starting” not 100% there yet. I had to do some hard self-discovery and unpack why I thought I was so awful. You can get there too!! Loving ourselves, while loved ones and the world (society) tells us “this is who you are” despite the untruths, loving ourselves is the hardest step. But so worth the cost! All love to you! You got this!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

What a powerful piece Elison ❤️ I couldn't answer your above question with a definitive answer... Some days yes, others no... I'm working on it.
