A Conversation with Aphrodite

“”There’s a girl in the mirror I don’t recognise. She follows me through every pool of water, of juice, of metallic, plastic packaging. She stalks me through glass windows and polished floors and sharp eyes, where she is ugliest. But she has always been hard to look at. I hate her.”” +++ Sometimes, we despise ourselves. We get lost in the frenzy of it, of the ease, and like a drug, it becomes habit. We learn to hate ourselves with fervent passion and the damage becomes irreversible, and before you know it, you can’t even look at yourself in the mirror. Your own reflection becomes your biggest fear. You see a monster enroaching on your life. And we rot with our own insecurity. You’re past saving. You’re nothing. You’ll never be beautiful— Or so you thought. —- ISBN: 9798879090277
