Reflections, reflections, what do we see?

“Mirrors are perpetually deceitful. They lie and steal your true self. They reveal only what your mind believes it sees”
― Dee Remy, There Once Was A Boy

I think it it’s the one looking into the mirror that is deceitful actually. Mirrors are portals, allowing us to see what we wish to see.  We can convince ourselves of many things while checking that mirror.  We can convince ourselves that we are a “good” person..Our morals better than the majority and our walk closer to the angels singing their hallelujah’s to god, but it’s our actions that resonate. What we say and do reflects on us so much more than what we profess to be.

I am far from perfect.I know that shocks ya’ll. Seriously. I have faults..I’m opinionated, snarky as fuck, bossy and Obsessive Compulsion and anti social especially in large settings. BUT…I am honest..very direct and set high standards for myself and those within my circle. So it was with some dismay that I found some that I respect and like to come across as narrow minded, judgmental and distorting truth with something obviously taken out of context and made into something else entirely. When I called them on it..one tried to justify their thinking..and tonight one outright deleted me from her list because she refuses to admit she was wrong. I am sorry about both situations. I hold them both in high regard and I’m disappointed to lose the friendship of one. ~Shrugs~I will not lower my standards. I hold myself to be honest, compassionate and fair..but don’t expect me to ignore ignorance, lies and downright poor judgement..I WILL call bullshit every time! And if that means you walk..then I guess you will do what is best for you. But I sincerely hope you decide to look and find a few truths in that mirror of yours. It reflects your light back to you.
