Did you ever look in the mirror and see yourself? I mean really see yourself. See who you really are. Did you see the person that you wanted to be? Or did what you see surprise you? Did you recognize the reflection? Or did you see someone that you didn't know? Were you afraid of who you saw looking back at you? Did you see what everyone else sees? Or did you see the person you want the world to see? The real you.

The person who mesmerizes. Who still has dreams. The person who makes those around them better than they were before. The person who is wanting to burst out and say to the world, "Here I am." No matter how small you feel sometimes or when hope is fading and it feels like you can't take it anymore Just know that you've come too far to let someone take it. You may have been knocked off track but you can still get back up.

Trust in who you are and remember how many moments of peoples lives you've been in. When the real you came through for someone who was struggling , who was frustrated. When you were apart of their lives when their dreams came true. Just think, you could be a big part of someone's life and not even know it.
So when you look in the mirror and see someone that you don't want to see, just know that its never too late to make a change in your life. To right everything that you've done wrong. It's never to late to create a new path in life or reclaim those dreams that you once had as a child. 
Tonight, I realized that when I looked in the mirror, I wasn't looking at the best version of myself…he was looking back at me.
