Have you ever passed by the mirror and glanced at the person staring back at you and not recognized who it is??
Reflections of ones self are not always what you see on the outside.
The heart has it's own reflection, unseen, but felt so strongly, sometimes we try to run away from it. Thinking if we run fast enough and far enough, we'll out distance the truth that dwells within. A truth that there is no where to hide from, because it dwells within us, not something we can cover up with makeup or a smile.
Look in your partners eyes...what do you see reflected there??
Love, indifference, tolerance??
What ever you see or feel in any reflection, is your doing. Each one of us has the power to control our re-action to any one else's actions.
If you question your reflection and what you see , feel or don't feel anymore,
especially if in a relationship, you need to find out why or why not.
Running from yourself and your own unhappiness will only make you more miserable.
Running or straying from a relationship, where the reflection is not the desired one you wish to see or feel, is not the solution.
The solution is to calm the ripples you see on the suface, so that the current underneath doesn't develope an undertow that will drag you down, or your partner, and make you lose site of yourselves.
If you can't calm the inner turmoil, at least be honest to everyone involved, including yourself.
No-one deserves dishonesty in a relationship. If you fall out of love, and do not want, or can't stay, then leave. That is the only fair action you can take.
Stepping outside the relationship, to seek what you feel you lack, is not the answer.
NEVER !! underestimate what your reflection reveals to others. If you feel guilt or shame....love and happiness.......unhappiness, or trapped.....those emotions will be reflected in your eyes.
Your eyes are the mirror of your inner most desires and those who look, will see what you, either, wish to reveal or what it is you are trying to hide.
