SEC-S16-W4 | Mi reflejo en el espejo - My reflection in the mirror (SP/GB)
Cada mañana, el ritual es el mismo: una mirada al espejo mientras intento domar mi cabello rebelde que parece tener vida propia. Hoy, sin embargo, mi reflejo parece querer decirme algo más. Me detengo, observo y me doy cuenta de que tal vez no se trate sólo de pelos indomables.
Bueno, empecemos diciendo que mis ojos, a pesar de las noches de insomnio que paso buscando el sentido de la vida entre mis pensamientos, conservan una chispa de alegría. Luego están mis manos, herramientas increíbles capaces de transformar el café en poesía cada mañana. Y no olvidemos mi sonrisa, capaz de disolver las tensiones, aunque a veces prefiera esconderse detrás de una máscara de seriedad.
Ah, los clásicos: esa barriga que testimonia mi amor incondicional por una buena cerveza un sábado por la noche, el cabello que decide ser liso u ondulado según el humor del día, y tal vez, esos pies que me recuerdan que soy Ya no soy el deportista del pasado.
¿Tocino? Puede que haga más ejercicio, o quizá no, porque la cerveza con mi pareja es demasiado buena. ¿Cabello? He aprendido a amarlos tal como son, en toda su imprevisibilidad. Los pies... bueno, no voy a rehacer lo que ya se hizo, así que diría que estamos bien como están.
Vuelvo a levantar la vista, nos miramos, nos desafiamos, a veces nos sonreímos. Ese reflejo, con todos sus "defectos", soy yo. Y en un mundo que corre rápido, donde la apariencia parece contar más que la esencia, elijo reírme de mí mismo, amarme por lo que soy: una obra en constante evolución, perfecta en su imperfección.
Al final, ese reflejo en el espejo no es más que el relato visual de mis batallas, mis alegrías, mis noches de bebida y a veces de insomnio. Es el testimonio de un alma que, a pesar de todo, no ha dejado de buscar la belleza en las pequeñas cosas.
Y así, con una sonrisa, salgo de casa, lista para afrontar mi único día de hoy. Porque si algo he aprendido es que lo que importa no es lo que ves en el espejo, sino cómo eliges mirarlo.

Every morning, the ritual is the same: a look in the mirror while I try to tame my unruly hair that seems to have a life of its own. Today, however, my reflection seems to want to tell me something more. I stop, observe, and realize that perhaps it's not just a question of untameable hair.
Well, let's start by saying that my eyes, despite the sleepless nights spent searching for the meaning of life among my thoughts, retain a spark of joy. Then there are my hands, incredible tools capable of transforming coffee into poetry every morning. And let's not forget my smile, capable of dissolving tensions, even if sometimes it would prefer to hide behind a mask of seriousness.
Ah, the classics: that belly that testifies to my unconditional love for a good beer on a Saturday night, the hair that decides to be straight or wavy depending on the mood of the day, and perhaps, those feet that remind me that I'm no longer the sportsman of the past.
Bacon? I might exercise more, or maybe not, because the beer with my partner is too good. Hair? I have learned to love them as they are, in all their unpredictability. The feet... well, I'm not going to redo what's already been done, so I'd say we're fine as is.
I look up again, we look at each other, we challenge each other, sometimes we smile at each other. That reflection, with all its "flaws", is me. And in a world that runs fast, where appearance seems to count more than essence, I choose to laugh at myself, to love myself for who I am: a work in constant evolution, perfect in its imperfection.
In the end, that reflection in the mirror is nothing more than the visual story of my battles, my joys, my drinking and sometimes sleepless nights. It is the testimony of a soul that, despite everything, has not stopped looking for beauty in small things.
And so, with a smile, I leave the house, ready to face my only day today. Because if there's one thing I've learned, it's that it's not what you see in the mirror that matters, but how you choose to look at it.
gracias por leer thanks for reading @ibesso
invito a mis amigos I invite my friends @wakeupkitty @letssittt @tripple-e @yaladeeds @triple-a
I loved reading this one. I am not sure if it was your intention but it made me laugh. I already joined and must say your photo is an eye catcher between all the other entries.
I am sure your entry is one of the best. I keep my fingers crossed you win!
Loads of 🍀🍀🍀
I'm flattered But!
Your mirror post struck a deep chord in me. Your honesty and the way you approach the relationship with the reflection really touched me. It made me think about how important it is to see beyond appearances, something we both try to do. The story with your mother and the mirror has personal resonances for me too.
You managed to put into words feelings and thoughts that many of us feel but struggle to express. The best contribution is yours, the winner is you!
Loads of 🍀🍀🍀 to you!
Seeying beyond appearance, I manage to do so although I admit I do listen to my inner voice/instinct which is always right. Harder is it never works the other way round.
I'm sorry to hear the remark about my 'mother' personal affected you.
Do we struggle to express our feelings or is it forbidden 'not done' to say the truth?
Let's say we both are winners. 😁
A great day without fuss, and too much thinkimg. Let's watch something funny!
🍀💕
I'm really happy to know that we can share these feelings and reflections. Our inner voice guides us in the right direction.
Your empathy and understanding are a true gift, and I so appreciate your concern. Regarding our expression of feelings and sharing the truth, I think the world would be a better place if we all had the courage to be as honest as we are trying to be.
I love the idea of spending a day without worries, spring has blossomed here and the light is particularly favourable. The idea of being able to watch something funny I enjoy just thinking about it. Come see our shared victory. Hi Kitty, happy continuation 👋
Write the worries down and put them in a jar and close it.
Promise yourself to pamper yourself for a day. If you like you can open that jar tomorrow or the day after or next week.
To me the world would be a better place if everyone was honest. It's exhausting to hear A while knowing it's B, I do not see any point in lying. Perhaps I'm lucky because I am crazy anyway 😁
Rowan Atkinson is funny, so is Keeping Up Appearances, The Full Monty, The Mad Monster Party, Disney's The Emperor's New Groove... it always makes me laugh.
Enjoy Spring with or without bad hair day.
👋
Can you tell I'm stressed out by my hair?😅 I will follow your advice: tomorrow I will take some time for myself and I’ll reopen the jar on Monday. Your ability to see things differently is brilliant, your madness is contagious, and liars will have a hard time. I will start focusing on my good mood right away with Rowan Atkinson, thanks for reminding me, I really like him. Let’s then enjoy the small pleasures of life and the beauty that surrounds us. 🌈I wish you a pleasant evening.🤗
Ever saw Blackadder?
Have fun!
Hola amigo, reírnos de nosotros mismos es disfrutarnos y entender la esencia de la vida, y como dices, somos seres en constante evolución, por lo que debemos amar las imperfecciones de hoy, que seguramente no lo serán mañana.
Fue un gusto leerte.
Saludos, te deseo mucho éxito.
Hola @genomil, abrazar nuestras imperfecciones con una sonrisa es como bailar bajo la lluvia de nuestras propias tormentas existenciales. Después de todo, hoy tropezamos con las piedras y mañana... las usamos para construir castillos o, quién sabe, tal vez un pequeño bar dedicado al humor donde la entrada cuesta una sonrisa torcida. Gracias por tu comentario, que nuestras evoluciones nos lleven a donde el éxito es simplemente ser capaces de reírnos al mirar atrás. ¡Saludos y que tu camino esté lleno de inesperadas carcajadas!🌻
Intentar hacer poesía con un cabello indomable es algo que jamás se me hubiera ocurrido, quizás esa es la actitud para enfrentar a nuestros propios demonios. No te asustes, solo me sentí identificada. @ibesso, a través de la palabra se puede expresar mucho más de lo que decimos y tú lo lograste con tu reflejo. Suerte en el concurso.
Gracias @evagavilan! Unir poesía y cabellos salvajes es como domar demonios con bálsamo. Sonreímos juntos ante nuestros reflejos indomables. ¡Que el concurso tiemble!
@ibesso, no dejes de beber cerveza con tu pareja y con amigos, eso es lo máximo. Además luego de que hemos bebido unas cuantas, vemos al mundo de otro color; y hasta nos miramos a nosotros mismos perfectamente imperfectos, y eso es lo máximo.
Tu publicacion me sacó sonrisas de satisfacción. Espero seguir leyéndote. Vuelve a esta casa, cuando gustes. Un abrazo con la frescura de una cerveza.
¡Gracias por tu comentario! Aquí tienes un pequeño secreto ahora que el concurso ha terminado: la cabeza de 'mañana difícil' no era por la cerveza, en realidad tenía terror de presionar 'publicar'. Tu apoyo ha transformado mi ansiedad en una insignia de supervivencia a una gran noche. ¿Cerveza con los amigos? Porque al final, ¿qué hay mejor que aceptarnos tal como somos, imperfecciones incluidas? Tu comentario es la guinda del pastel de un día ya perfectamente imperfecto. ¡Hasta pronto!
Hasta tus comentarios parecen una publicación, porque son muy lindos. Un abrazo. Te esperaremos siempre.
