So I guess I have had quite a bit of wednesday love today. My personal blog will probably explain that away! But the beauty in the detail has to be the first daisies springing up. That is a good thing :)

well
i woke up this morning, went in the bathroom... and guess what was the first thing i did? yep. i failed! i looked in the mirror. i don't think it'd be possible to not look in a mirror. unless all the mirrors were destroyed. and still. we could always look in a puddle of water and see our reflection! or. in a shop window!
Rhian: Ha, "unless all the mirrors were destroyed." All the mirrors IN THE WORLD!
I've been thinking about it. Is this question uncomfortable because we are vain? Is this question uncomfortable because it makes us realise just how much time we do spend on our appearance, despite our contstant talk about finding inner beauty?
Is this question uncomfortable because it makes us seem contradictory in what we hold as important? I think its that last one.
I believe in beauty of character yes. So then why would it matter if I look in the mirror or not?
I have no answers, and oh so many questions.
Flo: yes. i believe in the inner beauty more than anything else. but. maybe. what if looking in the mirror wasn't such an uncomfortable thing? i mean. not in a vain way. what if it'd be possible to look at ourselves in a 'healthy' way. just because. we like pretty things. we're attracted to pretty things. i did say "things". i'm not talking about people. because i don't believe that it'd be possible for someone to actually be ugly. but. what if? would it be possible to learn to have a balance. and maybe. learn to look at our true selves without been vain and trying to look like someone else? or better that someone else? like, why is it so uncomfortable for someone not to wear any makeup? why do we wear makeup anyways?
oh dear. more questions. ha.

My reply to you flora: You have fun doing that! Ha. But no. I don't think I could. I really don't. How could I leave the house to go to Uni and not look in the mirror? Gosh. This question has really made me think.
Replying to rhian: you could always take a picture of yourself and see how you look! ;)

Do you think...
you could go a whole week without looking in a mirror?
Honestly.
Really.
I don't.
And that question makes me uncomfortable even thinking about it.
I have more to say on this question. But it needs to be worked out in my head first.
But do you?
