I mean, there’s your eyes and your nose and your cute little smile, but that’s not all there is to you. You’re not seeing the amount of lives you’ve touched with your presence and not seeing all the people you’ve made smile and laugh. In fact, all the battles you’ve overcome are completely invisible when you look in the mirror, hidden beneath your outside features. So, listen to me when I say this: you are not as simple as a reflection. You are complex, wonderful and brilliant that a mirror simply does not have the capability to show. It’s only showing one tree in the forest, one star in a galaxy, one grain of sand on the beach. And you are so much more than that. Please believe it.” (agirlnamedmaja)
