The Mirror (1975, dir. Andrei Tarkovsky)

Since when did our definition of beauty become
dry hair, broken nails, flaky skin?
sleepless nights
growling stomachs
a slightly yellow tinge?
When did we start measuring success via
the size of our jeans,
or waistsor energy burnt?
Why is strength now represented by
scars on wrists, damaged bodies, full of hurt?
They say that true beauty shines from the inside out
so does that now mean that in the mirror
we ought to see
a hollowness, an emptiness,
a shadow of our former self?
is this really beautiful? (via grabbing-onto-life)
I will someday
Look into the mirror
See myself
And say :
“I’m good the way I am.”
And I will destroy the construct
of not being worthy.

You may not be able to see your own beauty or love yourself but one day, someone will. You have only lived such a small part of yourself, you will never know what the future brings. So, keep going. Hold on. You are never alone. ♥

"But I’ll let you in on a little secret: there’s a whole world out there waiting for you. Great cities, and art, and music. Genuine beauty. And you could have all of it. You could have a thousand more birthdays, all you have to do is ask." —Klaus to Caroline
