I go through the same kind of situations as other people. I have to give that to people, because people have this facade, this mirage, this mirror about me.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We struggle throughout our lives to learn to accept the shell that transports us through this world, and many of us take great effort to change it. I believe everyone has at least once looked in the mirror and thought, 'That is not me. I am someone else. The world cannot see me as I really am.'
It is not so much the example of others we imitate as the reflection of ourselves in their eyes and the echo of ourselves in their words.
I'm this goofball. I look at myself in the mirror, and the person that I know doesn't match up to what I think people love to perceive me as.
I just feel as though it's become a situation where people have manifested this caricature of who I am, and they act as if there's no real person inside of it.
In my work and in myself I reflect black people, women and men, as I reflect others. One day even the most self-protective ones will look into the mirror I provide and not be afraid.
Behavior is the mirror in which everyone shows their image.
Everyone and everything that shows up in our life is a reflection of something that is happening inside of us.
Don't let what others think or say get in your way; their actions reflect on them, not you.
In no small part I think all of us kind of look in the mirror and feel good or not feel good about the person we seen in the mirror in no small part because of the jobs we have.
I think my characters are more wish fulfillments than they are mirrors. They see things I don't and live in a world I can only enter through words.
