My reflection

I SAW MYSELF reflected in the mirror and couldn’t believe how eight years could have flown by so fast but most shocking is, how I have grown from a girl into a woman, a wife and a mother. I saw myself reflected in the mirror and I smiled and I was proud.
I still remember the black shirt, the light blue jeans and mustard yellow Timberland boots D. wore the first time I met him in our High School guidance counselor’s office. I still remember the first time we kissed, made love to each other, dated, got married, moved into our first apartment, cried and laughed when we got pregnant, held our children for the first time, opened our hair salon and welcomed our first costumer in. I still remember the good times we had and although we have issues, problems, fights and disputes, at first try, at least at this very moment, I cannot bring up bad memories from this marriage, this family.
Reflected in my bathroom mirror is a 9 year old 24 year old woman. A woman struggling to find herself, yet knows herself enough to put her needs into words, into fulfillments; a woman who works hard to reach her dreams. There are days when I am afraid to grow up, afraid to grow old, wither and die with a life half lived. Days when I wish I could get a do-over pass and go back in my past and be a baby, a toddler or even a teenager again… But then it hits me and reality sets in, on the road I am traveling, there are no u-turns and unfortunately, no GPS to carefully guide and monitor my next move. The mistakes and rights I will ever make will be mine, they will be me.
As an adult, as a woman, as Lolita, I try my best to work hard, take care of my children and make my marriage work. I wake up every morning to do the right thing to make my children’s future brighter, roadblocks free. I raise them to be stronger than their mother, better than their mother. I have my ups, my downs and even my not so nice blahs. But when I saw myself reflected in the unlit bathroom mirror this morning, I looked deep into the flawed yet beautiful person, the battered but not broken girl that I once was, with compassion, with love I never felt for anyone before and it felt wonderful. I fell free. I accept myself for who I am. I accept me for who I am...
