My Reflection


This has nothing to do with any of my fan-fiction (although, if you've seen my 'Lile through the ages' banner you will recognize the girl I used). I was mucking around on Photoshop and designed this image. It's full title is 'My reflection used to be so much clearer'.

The girl on the right of the page is looking at her reflection on the left of the page. The reflection is fuzzy and blurred, meaning that the girl on the right isn't sure of what she sees. Or, maybe she doesn't want to believe what she is seeing? Regardless, neither she nor the viewer can see the reflection clearly. She has been hiding something (depression? An eating disorder? Self-esteem issues?) for so long that she has forgotten what she really looks like.

The shooting star in the background flies past, giving her a brief moment of light or the chance to make a wish. What will she wish for?

This picture can relate to all of us. We all have our secrets and some of us have really big secrets. We need to be careful that we don't let our secrets take over and, when a moment of light of the chance to make a wish comes, we must grab it before it falls below the horizon and leaves us alone in the night.
