    The mirror

    They say what is on the outside reflects what is on the inside. What do you see when you look into the mirror? Does it make you happy or sad? Why or why not? What would you do to change the image you see looking back at you? This is mostly with respect to female image but can apply to overall image as well.

    Mirrors are a beloved subject.

    A peek into one can give you a guage on your current state quickly.
    Just be open to the subtle emotional reaction form the subconscious.

    Even if you get the joke on duality, the feedback reaction will usually, and notably, be either positive or negative. You'll either like or dislike what you get back from the mirror, you'll get a sense of health or unwellness.

    And it will amplify on its own feedback given a moment or two, unless you are quick at unconsciously repressing emotion, and instead focusing on that 'one stray brow hair' instead of the total feel.

    Mirrors reflect certain energy too.
    And so we go, on with our lives...
    We know the Truth, but prefer Lies.
    Lies are simple, simple is Bliss.
    Why go against tradition, when we can admit defeat,
    Live in Decline, be the victim of our own design?

    When I look into a mirror I see the person I want to be, not just the person I am trying to be. Nicole makes me very happy and gives me reason to want to look better as her. She has literally taken me over and I so long to be her all of the time.

    Anything that I would want to change about the image I see in the mirror could be accomplished with FFS.

    When I look in the mirror I see the latest stage of a work in progress. Sometimes I like what I see, othertimes I can see where I still have work to do in my neverending quest to see the me I someday hope to see.

    Unfortunately, when I look into the mirror I still see all of the 'flaws'. My presentation has improved a lot but I still see a work in progress. I don't know if I will ever reach the 'destination' but I no longer obsess with the idea of passing 100% of the time. I just want to be treated according to my gender presentation at the time.

    When I ask who is the fairest in the land, the mirror laughs at me.

    There is a girl there somewhere. Sometimes I can see her come out, but other times I see just same ole me.

    They say the mirror never lies, but it must. I look in it and still see my old self but others all they see is female. So maybe it's our own eyes that do the lying?

    Maybe it's all those years every day looking at my male reflection, getting it burnt into my mind? When I look in the mirror, I always see me and often have trouble seeing myself as a woman. Still, I see more happiness in that image, than my normal daily life guy image...

    God stepped back, looked at Adam, and declared "I can do better than that!" and so He created women.
    The ITer stepped back, looked at the beta results, and declared "I can do better than that!" and so he created the final version.
    Sometimes in the final version, some of the beta crap still remains. I know, because I'm living proof.

    All my mirrors must be rose tinted, as I always seem to look and feel good about my femme half. Photographs however, have a habit of showing the reality. I suppose thats why photoshop was invented

    As a guy, throughout my entire life, I always considered myself an ugly duckling and my comment to the image looking back at my from the mirror was AARRGH! That's one reason why I sported a full beard for almost 38 years. Since coming out to the world (and losing the beard) I love the feminine image looking back at me and the male image isn't all that bad either

    I see myself, whether I’m dressed or not, made-up or not. It’s amusing and sad at the same time, an unrelenting exhibition of realistic countenance. I’m looking old these days, and nothing can be done about it. Of course, “old” is a relative term, and I often dwell upon the scientific properties of light as I gaze at the mirror. The observation of reflected light is my chosen profession, after all, so I’m fascinated by all images and imaging. This fleeting glimpse of an aging actress lets me know I still exist, but for how much longer? If I could change the image before me, I would revert to an earlier (younger) version of myself, but then I would spend way too much time studying my new visage. I wouldn’t be too fascinated, mind you, mainly because it’s all just reflected light…[/SIZE]

    I think it all has some kind of purpose. If we had microscopic vision for instance rather than macroscopic vision, we would only see atomic particles racing around one another in a particular pattern rather than a body when we look into the mirror. If that were the case when we make ourselves look better, we would really be just rearranging the atomic particles rather than tweaking our appearance to look better. It's really how you look at things I guess.

    I see a girl who's totally upset when her brother had that Grilled Cheese Bacon Six Dollar Burger the night before, and is now asking him to work it all off the next few days so that she can lose three pounds.

    *sigh* And I thought not being in a relationship was heavenly. Now I gotta deal with a girl who just won't leave me alone... ME!

    Sometime I think I am looking at a picture of Mom or my younger sister.

    For the first time recently I saw someone with a big nose, bit of a pizza face, but I still saw myself as female for the first time to match how I feel inside. Cried a bit that night.

    When I look into the mirror, I see someone completely new, yet so familiar, so much so that it always brings a smile to my face. It helps me to appreciate both sides of my personality...my male side, as I can come and go as I please, and my female side, which is a big secret to everyone. Sometimes, it's fun having a secret identity! It is funny tho that in my male mode, I don't pay too much attention to mirrors, but in femme mode, I can't get away from them. Yes, I know it's vanity, but who cares!!!!

    So far my dressing has been modest, mostly tights and swimwear. But when I look into the full length mirror in my room it is still sort of new to me to look at myself like that.
    I ussually think to myself this can only get better.
