I wish I did not know them. There's something not right about looking at ourselves at all. Our eyes are where they are in order for us to look out and away from ourselves towards others. But then we have to make do with mirrors. As for them, I have found that a single can of inexpensive hairspray will work wonders when sprayed across the surface of the glass. It blurs the image of you but still allows you to find the dirty spots on your face so you can wash them away with a cloth and warm water.Bigezbearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01518091273245395370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-29618452219760826912013-01-08T09:09:43.687-05:002013-01-08T09:09:43.687-05:00Yes.

I look so distinctly like my father that I don't see my mother in my face at all.<br /><br />By the way, I've been reading here over Christmas and New Year's, but I couldn't comment. There was some kind of technical glitch between my stateside computer -- an old Apple laptop -- and your blog page. Very strange. Anyway, I'm still here!Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-34432387634983966232013-01-07T16:21:57.307-05:002013-01-07T16:21:57.307-05:00I think we are our harshest critics.

I read something online about how we always look back at our past selves and cringe at out hair, our clothes, our lives. That we always think where we are is the best, until 20 more years goes by. I wish I had appreciated younger me more, that's all I know for sure.<br />xoMelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10114884092474969555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-50738620453168730092013-01-07T13:29:02.246-05:002013-01-07T13:29:02.246-05:00Love.

When I look at photos of you though, I appreciate how you look then and now. Looking at your eyes always makes me smile.

My mom always told me the prettiest people are the ones who exude positive qualities - so a beautiful woman/man could seem ugly and vice versa depending on how they treat others, etc. Still, I'd love to wake up one morning looking like Brad Pitt.
