my reflection

When I was growing up, many close relatives agree that I was cuter when I was little.
Like how my parents sum it, “the older she gets, the uglier”.
A few months ago, a friend saw this photo and I jokingly told her my parents’ slogan-comment.
She accidentally agreed with it until she noticed the disturbed look on my face.
I didn’t even realized I had put on one until she very politely rephrased her meaning.

I don’t like looking into mirrors because I don’t recognize myself.
When I do look, I see a very ugly person.

And the worst part is,

I made the reflection that way.
