WHAT IF THERE WERE NO MIRRORS?

I really wonder how we, girls are gonna fix ourselves if there were no mirrors at all. What made me ask? Well… this morning, my hubby was so amazed while watching me put on my makeup, which by the way is already my tradition as I do it every day before going to work. And that thought about mirrors just came to me. And oh, why didn’t I include boys? Probably because they just don’t seem to care so much how they look like. I mean, sometimes. I mean, only those I that know of. Haha (I really had to insert a lot of disclaimer there).

So yeah, did it ever occur to you how we could have succeeded a day without even seeing our reflection on a mirror, whether it’s a full-sized, half-sized or even just a pocket-sized mirror? And that nothing else on this planet could ever make a reflection of us? I mean, even water would not mirror us. Wouldn’t it leave us with no other choice but to ask other people about our appearance? As in other people would serve as mirrors!

Wouldn’t that be so frustrating and annoying and aggravating and everything else?!!

I mean, if we don’t get to see or judge how we look like, and only those who can see us will get to say that we look okay or worse can even fake it, then I think we’re in serious trouble. Why? Well, they could pretentiously say we already look nice when it’s the opposite or say we look hideous when we look just fine or even seductively gorgeous. If only other people will get to see our appearance then it’s like giving them 100% right to comment if the dress we picked for the day matches the belt we chose and if the shoes that we decided to wear complements the whole attire. Ya get what I mean?! They will have that bragging rights to tell us how we should dress up, tie our hair or how to put on our makeup. On second thought, I don’t think we, girls, could ever wear makeup at all if that would be the case, right?

Whoa! If that will ever happen, I’m pretty much sure it’ll be one hell of a mess! Because accept it or not, we tend to lie every day – I’m just referring to “white lies”. So, if it’s not in your nature to be frank and you’ve been asked by your friend to tell her exactly how that pretty red dress, which she adores so much (but doesn’t really fit her nicely) fits her, would you really be honest about it or would you try some positive scripting, which by the way might (as it happens most of the times) lead her to believing the opposite of what you’re really trying to tell her? And by not telling her that it doesn't fit her well, it's already lying! But by telling her, you might end up hurting her! Oh yeah, I’m again trying to complicate things here, haha. Sorry.

Can I just say that I’m thankful that we have mirrors? That it’s so nice to be able to see our reflection before we even go out of the house and face the world? That I’m glad I don’t have to really answer someone else's question on how they look like, instead I can just lend them my mirror? Easy and simple and will save me from lots of trouble… Hahaha!

So that's all I have to say for now. See yah again soon.

p.s. sorry for my nonsense post. just really trying to unload my mind of all the junks it has for the past few days.
