Mirror shows us our true reflection. We can lie to anyone but not to the person whose reflection we see in the mirror. There was a time when I was lost and dejected. I used to write my feelings in my diary in order to motivate myself and bring myself out of the fathomless pit of hopelessness I was sinking into. Today I share a poem from my journal where I tell myself to come out of victim consciousness and face all odds with determination.
I see a stranger in the mirror.
Is this me, I wonder?
Bruised ego, Battered soul
Hard times have taken its toll.
Bitterness and revenge is all I see,
This is not what I wanted to be.
I see a victim in the mirror.
Is this me? I watch in horror!
No more pity, no more crying.
Failures won’t deter me, I won’t stop trying.
Defeat is for the valiant, I am proud of my scars.
With renewed dreams, I will reach for the stars.
I see a warrior in the mirror,
With an indomitable spirit and a heart full of prayer.
This is who I am! My lost glory I’ll reclaim.
Like a phoenix from the ashes, I will rise again.

This is a very deep poem. Mirror, which mirrors the inner depths. Good one.
P.S. Did you revamp the whole site? I see there is only one post!
I accidentally ended up deleting my whole blog and since files were permanently deleted, even my IT guy is unable to retrieve it. I can act really stupid at times 🙁
Oh, I hope there is a way to recover. If not, you can republish from the drafts.
I can understand it feels horrible! But, yes, technology, anything can happen!
There is no way that I can recover it. But thankfully I had saved the articles on my laptop. So I will be manually uploading them and redesigning the site all over again.
I meant the same with republish. You can certainly do that with time!
Yep… That’s the plan.
