lost in the reflection November 21, 2001 Wednesday - 00:36 you are like me. i see myself in you. talking to you is like holding up a mirror to myself, and seeing how i am.. how the world sees me.. and i am pleased with what i see in you. but you are infinitely better than i am. self-assured, joyful, funny, friendly. how the world sees you is how the world sees me, but how you see yourself is different from how i see myself. and that is what is important, because it is what YOU see that is what you ARE. beneath the mirror, you remain constant, more or less. but i, i am not. i am reduced. i am nervous, pathetic, helpless, weak. i admire you, friend. ----- gotta eat less. diaryland | archive | newest entry | profile
