Totally cracked, or it soon will be when I chuck that lying mirror in the bin, brilliant epigram, one of the best, Maureen ; )

I wrote a similar one about fat shaming myself, but the mirror didn't lie.

In a few words, ah what depth! Yes, mirrors don't lie, they say, but do they? We generally always see and feel the ego, not the real self. Beautiful

Fantastic piece of observation super Mo, We see them, but only after you pluck them out into reality, cheers David
