"It doesn't make sense to call ourselves ugly because we don't really see ourselves. We don't watch ourselves sleeping in bed, curled up and silent. With chests rising and falling with our own rhythm. We don't see ourselves reading a book, eyes fluttering and glowing. You don't see yourself looking at someone with care inside your heart. There's no mirror in your way when you're laughing and smiling and happiness is leaking out of you. You would know exactly how bright and beautiful you are if you saw yourself in the moments where you are truly beautiful." -- unknown (it apparently went around Tumblr, that site whose main purpose seems to be making sure attributions get lost but I hear some folks use for some sort of blogging, a few months ago; has also been seen on Facebook and Pinterest, never with attribution AFAICT -- if anyone does know where it came from, please yell; the language sounds too modern for the source to have been legitimately lost already)

[A blessed Samhain to my friends who celebrate it -- happy new year, and may the year treat you well!]
