Smile to your reflection.

Self reflection

Self reflection is like looking into a mirror and describing what you see. It is a way of assessing yourself, your ways of working and how you study. To put it simply 'reflection' means to think about something

Before I proceed...

Happy Eid to all my Muslim friends and family, I'm sure you enjoyed your celebration today, wishing you the best, more celebrations to come. Do have a great day/night ahead.

Self reflection.

Whenever she cries and her tears doesn't easily dry.

Take her to a mirror or a reflective glass, just for her to see herself.

Yeah, once she does; her tears suddenly stops and dries off.

Oh!, The persona is a baby I know of.

There's a baby I know, her name is Shalom, so pretty yet peaceful, she loves seeing herself, her mum and I knew this so anytime Shalom cries, what we do is that; we take her to a mirror or a reflective glass. Once she sees herself, she stops crying immediately. Lol, I guess she wouldn't want to watch herself crying.

If you take her away from the mirror too soon, she'll continue crying, take her back once more and she'll again; stop crying.

Children love you taking a selfie with them.

A picture freak is what I am,

A teacher; I was, back in days of yore.

Bringing out my phone to take a shot,

you'll see them all, hovering around, to be a participant.

Oh!, The persona's here, are children I had taught.

During my days; being a teacher, there's something i noticed and I guess this was what made the kids so fond of me.

I'm a picture freak, so I'm always taking pictures and whenever I bring out my phone to take a picture, you'll see them all, hovering around me, changing styles and laughing out loud.

(They always wanted to see their faces through those pictures).

A quick drive to two years back,

I remember I saw it, hitting the window pane,

I had thought it was peering to see what's in.

You bet I tried to chase it out.

But it never moved an inch.

I remember, she said; it was looking at its' reflection.

Me; going out to check,

I saw this was true.

Oh!, The persona here, was a lizard I had seen.

Reflection,

You keep displaying no affection towards your reflection?,

You wish you were never born, you wish life could take a different turn and maybe then; some parts of your body would change.

Oh!, I'm so fat, a dunderhead, I've got no sense.

Or no; I guess, I'll never learn, it's just too much for me to bare.

Oh yes!. My hair is too short,

I'm so short, I'm ugly, I look so bad.

Why the hell was I created.

I bet you know what I'm talking about.

So much negativity to your reflection.

Oh!. You expect people to love you when you show no love to yourself?.

I just chuckled cause you just told a lie.

Love yourself for who you are.

It all starts with you.

You can't call yourself a pig and expect people to see you as a dove.

Even if they do; you'd never believe. And Why?

Oh well, because you never saw and might never see yourself as such..

And yes, The persona here, is you.

• Positivity to your reflection,

• Start appreciating yourself,

• Goodness to yourself,

• never sentimentally harsh.

• You look good you know.

• Common, appreciate yourself.

• Look into that mirror, and tell yourself sweet things, call yourself sweet names.

• And let's see how it all turns out.

• The persona here, Is the new you.

You can't be too hard on yourself, smile while looking at your reflection, tell yourself sweet things, giggle, flaunt yourself to your mirror, commend yourself and oh just be happy... It'll all work out fine, definitely.

There was a quote I read sometime ago and that quote actually triggered the writing of this article:

"People would come and go in your life but that person in the mirror would always be there."

So...

BE GOOD to YOURSELF.
