Kokuryuu Flameshifter Posted March 20, 2003 Report Posted March 20, 2003 I just can’t see what he sees in me. Is it something so divine to ignore the rough exterior? Is it something blindingly bright, so bright that it even blinded me? Or is it of the dark variety? A black void so enthralling and confusing that he sees too deeply into it and is caught? Is it that my wickedness has somehow charmed him to stay? How can I not be better to him? He deserves it; not that I deserve him. What am I compared to other girls? Nothing. I am no special thing. Just an accomplished liar—good enough to fool even myself. -Ryuu :dragon4:
Peredhil Posted March 22, 2003 Report Posted March 22, 2003 Many people are blind to themselves, and chose the people as mirrors that reflect their own self-value. So some people who think they are losers because they've failed tend to seek those who will affirm it. Other people who see themselves as winners because they focus on the times they succeed surround themselves with other positive people. Liars tend to seek other liars. Type to type for in the absence of light, everyone is equally ugly and much can be overlooked. Many of this last type dislike those who are lightbringers because of what it reveals about themselves... But every once in a while, you meet someone who reflects you to yourself differently. Offers you a choice to change, to emphasize different parts of yourself, to rearrange and perhaps Become. The best ones reflect you honestly without judgement, accepting all of you, but reflecting back the best of you. Part of being a true friend is being true. That doesn't mean you aren't still the other, just that you're nourishing different parts of you. What you feed with thoughts, beliefs, actions, will grow stronger. Life is about growth. Choose your mirror-friends carefully. Which way will you grow?
