Inner desire

This takes after the story Finding Courage

I wake up head hurting from the previous day I go back to see if she was coming but no she hadn't shown up. I walk to get ready and as I look in a mirror the reflection I see isn't my own but instead 2 different people I see to the left someone who is bright, innocent, and smiling....being happy. But to the right was someone completely the opposite the reflection was darker smiling but not cause it was happy but cause it knew what it wanted I look at both with wonder and confusion. 'What are u' I say to the reflections the bright one is the first to speak and when it spoke it was sincere and felt like a warming embrace. 'I am the light inside u, the light u carry with pride how u present yourself to people and how u feel the safest. The figure next to the light spoke its voice was like silk and couldn't help but get drawn in with its confidence oozing with his words. 'I'm the dark inside u the thing u push down inside u, the person u want to be but choose not to allow me to come into existence. My head hurts I see both figures and I feel torn seeing both entities before me. The light speaks back up 'you do have a choice to allow one of us to be who u define yourself as' his voice gentle and kind but when the dark spoke I couldn't help but look directly at it. 'As true as light puts it u can pick which one of us get to be' and in a quick flash, the woman appears in the darkness arms smiling being happy I look toward the light and it was sad seeing her wrapped in the darkness's arms. I'm surprised to see light jealous of dark and get torn between having to choose between the two my head wants the light knowing I'm safe and happy but not as true as I want to be. But with darkness, it's who I want it he confident having that woman finally notice me I look at the both of them and a thought rose into my mind as I close my eyes and open them. Before I was someone existing but also different my hair and clothes were different from what I would usually wear. I smile at the mirror showing that my expression was kind but also showed mystery to it. I go to the door to start my everyday life started....or was it a new beginning.

I think life is just like this. It is dark and light living together. Hopefully, more light than dark with a healthy dose of dark when the time is right. The more a person is able to walk in this world with their head held high, strong, carrying themselves with self-assured, the greater their confidence will be and the more they will be noticed by all of the people they would like to draw to them. Mystery can be good. No one has to know every little detail about you. You be what you want to be. They don't need to know things you struggle to conquer. Let them see the you that you want to be, and you'll find yourself being that very thing in no time.
