I rarely
look into the mirror
Not that
I hate how I look
I'm just
too grateful for having a perfect face and body
Even when
I brush my hair or wear my lipstick I'll just imagine and believe its perfect
My hijab
is nothing to worry
I could
wear it within seconds while walking to the door before I go out
I decided
to stand straight in-front of the mirror
I decided
to focus on every inch that has been blessed upon me
You know,
by only standing in-front of the mirror could travel us through years back
Jumping
from one moment to another
I realized I'm a lady now
I was
reminded on how 10 years ago I used to stand in-front of the mirror talking to
myself
Honestly
that was how I developed my confidence
I used to
imagine about the most random things
From
trying to talk to my crush to going out on a date with him
Things I
never did in real life not because I'm scared but because i don't see the need to
(the
reason why my crush never knew i liked him)
I wore pretty
clothes and walked in my sisters stilettos in-front of the mirror
As if I
was a runaway model
When i
looked at my legs and and eyebrows
It
reminded me of my mother
It traveled me 7 years back
I used to be around my mother all the time and people kept saying we look alike
I never
agreed until today
I
realized how I'm turning into her day by day
How she
used to wear red lipstick
Thats how
she looks when you see me trying to look elegant with some makeup on
My
reflection didn't only remind me of her
I was
also reminded of the moments during her last seconds of life
I
remember of all those things clearly when I look into the mirror
So I
cried and I felt like hugging myself because I miss her too much
Now I
know where to go when I miss you Ma.
