Hello, you're not who I expected to see.
Aug. 29th, 2005 12:51 pmI've been looking in the mirror lately, and I'm looking at a stranger. Make that a number of strangers who I see in that polished metal and glass.
The face I now have is not what I expected, even knowing that it would change as the rest of my body does. I have pictures of when I was this weight or lighter, and my face isn't turning into those faces as I loose ounces and pounds, but into someone different. An unexpected face- longer and with unexpected angles.
I'm told that I've always looked very different based on how I wore my hair and if I wore my glasses or not, but those are differences I never really saw before. Looking in the mirror I only saw a different style on the same face, with no real change to who I looked like.
Now the differences are drastic. It's as if I'm looking at a completely different person each time I wear my hair differently, or put on my glasses, or change the angle I'm looking at (either in the mirror or in photos). It's the most drastic when I have my hair down (hair that seems to be growing a little faster now, but I'm not sure if that's true or not).
I'm not sure what to make of this, looking into a mirror and seeing someone I don't recognize, even though I know it's me.
