"I know that mirrors give us a false sense of confidence... The reflection that we see everyday has nothing to do with how others see us. The glass lies." - Rasmenia Massoud.
a high key take on one of victoria ivanova's photographs.
I think the mirror just as often undermines what should be a state more confident than not. I often like myself more in the reflection of my laugh in a friends eyes than in the old, chubby person who haunts my mirrors.
I don't know who Rasmenia Massoud is. But I completely disagree with that thought. We should care about what WE see in the mirror. If I see a complete jerk in the mirror and am completely unhappy, it really doesn't matter what the others see, does it? But if I were a flamingo, I couldn't care less about what the others see :D I'd move on, minding my own business, being pink and gracious.
Great use of the mirror. The main purpose of a mirror in my house is to reflect light. I am happier with how I feel rather than how I look. Unless I have my dress tucked into my knickers then I appreciate what a mirror is showing me.
Mirrors definitely don't give me a false sense of confidence.
Don't think the glass lies, but it can only see the outside and the inside is as important (or maybe even more important).
