Mirror, mirror...

Hey mirror!

Your honesty has always been boundless. From pointing out those few chin hairs to proudly reflecting my pure sex appeal, you‘ve always shown me what I needed to see. But now when I look at you all I see is a failed family picture. You know, the one where the kid doesn’t want to be there so their facial expression is hilariously annoyed but slightly indifferent? Yeah that one. So I’m gonna need you to ease up on that honesty for a bit.


The smile you show me no longer curls up playfully at the edges. That weight I lost has sharpened my cheek bones and my eyes are bigger than I ever thought possible. I guess ALS has a reflection too. It’s not ugly (I’ll admit I make ALS look good).. it’s just different. Most of my frustration comes from the fact that you’re either not showing what’s inside or you‘re flaunting what I’m over here trying to hide. It’s quite annoying.

If you could tell your friends the camera lenses to chill out too, that would be great. Thanks in advance!


Sincerely,

Vic
