SEC-S16-W4 | My reflection in the mirror
 |
|---|
Hello friends, it feels good to be back again this week to participate in this already enticing contest. I can't really tell why I had to hop in on this contest. I just had this pull to start this week's SEC with this contest. Lets get into it guys!
The truth is I really do not know how to talk about anything that has to do with things like this, I mean am very careful when it comes to answering questions along this line so I do not appear as a ingrate to the one who created me. Am not sure there is someone out there who is perfect or has it all.
We just have to be grateful for the way we look especially when our physique have not been altered by unforseen unfortunate situations and circumstances beyond our control. Let me attempt the questions highlighted in the guideline.
Tell us 3 aspects of your physique that you like and 3 that you don't like, why?
Yeah! when I stare at the mirror, I can't but appreciate God for making me this handsome and unique. God was so meticulous in forming me. I would mention just 3 of the thing I love about my physique just as stipulated.
• Slim physique : There is something about slim folks, we are just so unique. Our slimness has a way of making us appear smart and lovely. I can't even imagine myself being chubby or with a pot belly...that would definitely alter my appearance. So I love myself being slim and smart.

I've gotten a lot of compliment from people, especially the opposite gender. Some of these folks really appreciate my carriage and how that my slimness looks so perfect on me. Not like I was ever chubby though, I just grew up noticing, am not the kind of person that would add so much flesh.
I struggled with it at first but along the line I fell in love with it because variety they say is the spice of life, if everyone is to be chubby, there won't be something unique about us. So we have the chubby folks and the slim folks alike and for this reason, I do not want to change who I am.
• My Face: Have you seen a cute and handsome guy today? Well let me bless your screen with my cute face...but just a minute, am sure you're eager to see my face. Can you just slow down, the picture is just few scroll away, you do not need to rush your way down.... lols. Don't mind me, just felt like teasing you, smiles...

I hope you love what you see. Well does it matter if you do not? it doesn't matter friend. All I know is that am wonderfully and fearfully created by my Creator and I do not need any form of validation from no one. I am my number one fan..
• Hairy Legs
Just tell me why I won't love this part of me...you might think it's not worth mentioning, well that's to you. You don't have an idea how much of emotional torture I went through as a young teenage boy while growing. I used to have this set of friends that would show me how hairy they were, taunting me with it because I wasn't.
This experienced remained etched in my mind until one day when I discovered I started growing hairy in my leg region, I do not have as much hair in other part of my body just the way I have it in my leg region but am super grateful that I eventually had after been taunted by my friends back in the days.
So you see...do not blame me for choosing to highlight this point. It means so much to me. More like I now have a point to prove...but to who now...lols. Interestingly those friends are not even in my circle anymore.
What you DON'T like, can you change it? What are you doing to achieve it?
• Getting Extra Slim: And here is it... Looking at my self lately almost make me consider myself looking like the shadow of myself. Trust me I love being slim and moderate but not extra slim. Looking extra slim is just an indication to me that I've not being paying so much attention to my diet and feeding habit.
Lately I've been so overwhelmed with work that sometime I skipped breakfast and lunch till late in the night when I would have to fix dinner for myself. Sometimes I manage to get something to bite when am very busy but then most of these thing are pure junks which do not have real nutritional value.
The aftermath of all of these is reduction in weight which also make me look slimmer. What I plan doing to fix this is to pay more attention to my feeding habit by eating as at when due and eating the right things at the right time...staying away from junks as much as possible.
• Not enough Height: Naturally, being slim has a way of making you appear like you look tall, not until you stand side by side with someone who is really tall. Am grateful for the height I've got but there was a time I really wallowed in the thought of gaining more height than I do now.
I went online looking for how to grow taller and all. I gave up on the desire because I later found out that there is a growth stage in a man's life where height comes naturally but when you grow past that stage, it becomes difficult to gain height. I discovered I had passed the stage, hence the reason I stopped the pursuit. Am not short, neither am I tall, am just somewhere in between.
What is your relationship like with the person you see in the mirror?
I can't deny the person in the mirror, I wouldn't say I do not know the person now because something's obviously changes about my physique. I still need to love the me I see in the mirror and then work toward becoming my best version.
There is always a place for upgrade, we are still not our best no matter how beautiful and handsome we thing we appear. Our best version is yet to be unveiled, it will surely unfold in due season.
Sometimes our actions and inactions tell on our appearance. Someone who neglects his appearance and not really concerned about his looks would definitely look awkward when he or she stares at the mirror even though he or she is an epitome of beauty within.
Anyways, no matter what it is do not dissociate from the image you see in the mirror. Love that image and do all you can within you power to appear the way you see yourself deep inside of you.
I will love to wrap it here friends, I trust you enjoyed every bit of it. I will love to invite @rakiya @josepha to this contest. Gracias!

Your honesty about areas you wish to improve like maintaining a healthy weight and accepting your height is relatable and commendable. Well done..
Am glad you took your time to go through my post,it's obvious from your comment. It hard admitting or taking about these things but then, it's to the end that someone out there who gets to read this gets encouraged. We have have to love ourselves no matter what.
Hello @lhorgic, yes sometimes we can feel ungrateful when talking about the things we don't like about our appearance, because we must thank God for our creation, you are lucky to be a thin person, I like when you say when we look in the mirror , love that image and do everything in your power to appear as you see yourself deep inside.
Am glad you can relate....yes we have to love that very image we see in the morrow when we stand before it no matter what it looks likes. Gracias
Hello friend, without a doubt we have to be grateful with our appearance. You are a very nice boy and you have a beautiful smile.
Greetings and success in the contest.
Estimado amigo tienes muy buena autoestima a juzgar por tus declaraciones. Y eso de algún modo es bueno porque puede darte seguridad sin embargo es común tal como lo has hecho reconocer ciertos aspectos de nuestro físico que aún cuando no estamos conforme con ellos son parte de nosotros y quizás no nos parezca atractivo pero otras personas pueden hallar cierta gracia en los aspectos que a nosotros no nos gustan. Te deseo éxitos y bendiciones.
