I can only see myself through the mirror

I am past the age of narcissism.

Although it is said that I have never been beautiful, I should have no conditions to be narcissistic, but who said that if I am not beautiful enough, I cannot be narcissistic?

Everyone should love themselves well, so I pursue it to the end. You don't need any cover to love yourself, so once upon a time, every time I saw a mirror, I would stare at myself in the mirror. Of course, I didn't look at the image in the mirror with the mood of admiring the artwork, it was just because I could only see through the mirror. To myself, I don't want to miss every opportunity to see myself.

Is the image I see in the mirror the same as others see me? Does everyone see me a little differently? Sometimes when I see so many flaws in myself in the mirror, I quickly look away, as if as long as I can't see myself, others won't find my flaws. Of course I know this is self-deception, but I really don't want to face the traces left by the years.

Now when I meet a mirror on the street, I will no longer deliberately look in the mirror. First, I am really past the age of narcissism, and second, I no longer care about my appearance.

I can hide from the mirror, but I can't hide from myself.

If you love yourself, you should accept everything about yourself, including the blemishes on your body and face. In fact, it's not my turn to accept it. If you really can't accept it, you should face it positively. If your skin is dry, you should put on more mask, and your face will be full of freckles. If you can't stand the fat on your waist, do more exercise. If you don't want to do anything, all complaints are vain.

I don't have any complaints, even if I see more and more flaws in the mirror, I can laugh it off, because I have already accepted the fact that I am old and how lucky I am to be old. I look at myself in the mirror with a grateful heart. Every night, I check whether the blackheads on my nose should be removed. In the morning, I check whether the wrinkles on my face have deepened. The wrinkles in the mirror are deep, the eye circles are dark, and there are many freckles The person I am now is who I am now.

I am not beautiful, I have many flaws, and I am getting older. This is me, the me who has lived with me all these years.

It was not until the age of narcissism that I realized that a person's self-confidence does not come from the outside, but from the heart.
