Just You

[MorgaineLaFay]

When was the last time, someone looked at you and saw just you. A woman. Or a man. Not a Mother, Father, Sisiter, bother, whatever...When was the last time some looked at you and aw just you?

Better yet - when was the last time you saw a photo, captured of yourself, of just you?

And in this photo you can see...just you.

funny you should ask...

I saw myself this morning in the mirror, and for the first time, I thought to myself, 'Damn! You are hot!'
















I chalk it up to positive reinforcement.

 

[MorgaineLaFay]

Funny - I didn't really expect any responses to this. But I saw a friends av the other day. That was of him, years ago. And it wasn't just photo of him - but it was him. In the raw. That is kinda what I was looking for. That feeling...

Recently I saw a picture of myself and it finally hit me.
I finally saw what he saw and his words became real ...

 

[erosman]

Ms. LaFay, ma'am, I was wondering if I missed the point of your question. I don't think the mirror had ever captured what I saw this morning. I was a bit taken back.












I had a great day. I even had a great teeth day

That is why I like the internet. Online I'm not someone's mother or wife or daughter or friend or...well, you get the idea. I can be just me. I don't think I've ever really seen a photo of me that captured just me. I have too many associations with in pictures of my family, friends...etc....

I don't know if this counts, but it happens all the time with my dog. He's got cataracts, plus he's damn near deaf, so when I make a loud noise he'll look up, and I'm pretty sure the only god damn thing he can see is me.
He's an old dog, but a great dog.

Every morning, I do The Mirror Check. I look myself square in the eye for 30 seconds or so.

It helps you know who you are..and what needs to be done.

it kinda has happened to me. I always hate how I look cause I'm disabled and 4 foot tall. anyways but sometimes I've seen a few pics of me or looked at the mirror and see what some other people see. a pretty young lady.

 

[MorgaineLaFay]

On bended knee?

You know how

Everyone sees me as who they want me to be.....it's been so long...I think I've forgotten what I look like. Perhaps, it's time to take a closer look......even if I might not like what I see.

Personal authenticity is not usually culturally popular.

It has been so long ago that the memory of that moment seems hazy. But I still remember the tingles and shock that went through me when I was seen. It is wonderful, but also it makes one feel very vulnerable. Once that has happened, all walls built are shattered, and it is hard to build them back up again. Eye to eye, we saw one another, and it was amazing, shocking, frightening, and lovely. Hazy though it may be, the memory lingers on.

As for photos, I tend to shy away from cameras...

Many wouldn't see it if it bit them in the ass.

But what if you don't see anyone, when you just look at yourself?

Then yu aren't looking at the same person I am.

Fortunately for me, the last time was earlier this evening before my 'Man left for work. It's so wonderful to be able to just BE yourself and see yourself reflected in his eyes.

There hasn't been a photo in years that I believe captures ME. I do see myself in my younger photos though; I recognize the child that I still feel inside my being. It's a shame that life and years take away the innocence.
