Mirror Challenge
Look into the mirror for at least one minute, into your own eyes. Into your soul. Not about how you look, but look into yourself through the mirror. Write what you saw and felt.

Mirror, Mirror, on the wall...

It's taken me a long while to realize I'm not the fairest of them all. I am selfish, I am impatient, I'm intense. But I am on fire and I am burning, burning - consuming and growing.

I am the levee. I hold the water back from those nearby, would-be victims to real-world experiences. I am not the fairest of them all, but I am.

I am. That's what matters. Standing here, looking into a face I struggled to recognize for so long.

I've become a familiar face.
