...when you look in the mirror
...when you look in the mirror. do you stare. do you watch yourself in the
mirror. watching other people. finding it so interesting. do i find myself
interesting enough to watch. watching oneself in the mirror isnt vain. it
means you admire yourself as someone youd like to be. but i guess thats
only if you look at it that way. if you see yourself as some separate
entity to be looked at. introspection. looking at yourself as if you were
someone else.
i look in the mirror to become more aware of myself. looking to see how i
walk. how i turn my head. what my face looks like when i smile. noticing my
eyes. watching gestures. trying to see how other people perceive them. how
they perceive me. i want to be aware of what my body does when i do things.
being aware of how my body feels is part of this. but so is how my body
looks. while watching myself in the mirror.
