Reflection


I was listening to the radio while driving to work the other day and I heard a new song. Part of the lyrics caught my attention and gave me the urge to reflect on it.


                            That guy in the windshield looking back looks just like me
But there's a crack in the reflection
Hope he's moving in the right direction.



Sometimes when I'm getting ready in the morning I look at myself in the mirror and wonder if this is who I really am. I tend to reflect upon who I use to be and who I am today. I think about how far I have come and how much I have changed in the years. When I was younger I use to be this super happy go lucky girl who didn't have a problem in the world, then when I hit middle school I started to become depressed for some reason and have all this angst against the world ( teenage years, am I right?). Then high school came around and well you know what happened then. I wish I could go back to when I was in elementary school and have that pure happiness and joy that I had. I know that everyone wishes they could have that again. Once that pureness is broken there becomes a crack in your reflection. It may be one crack or two cracks or more. When I lost mom my whole mirror shattered. You can never put it back together 100% and be perfect again but you can glue some of the pieces back together. It takes time but it's possible. I glued my mirror back together little by little. Once you are moving in the right direction you are able to do so.
