"MIRRORMIRROR

on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?"

HOW ABOUT, fuck your mirror's and let's not look into any of them for the rest of our innocent lives?! Because, seriously. We're sucked in at the usual age of puberty. We understand. You want to see yourself change. Nobody can honestly tell you, "OH! Bradley, when you look in that mirror, you will see the future. YOUR future. You'll be handsome, tan, and tall. You'll be every woman's dream at night. You'll be everything!" It's another story when little Bradley looks into that mirror and sees himself changing for the worst. He looks in the mirror and thinks, "I look so ugly. Do I look this ugly every day? With these worn out bags under my eyes, and these stupid braces, and these hideous zits all over my face. My already peach fuzzed top lip..Damn, I'm starting to think instead of everyone's dream, I'm everybody's worst nightmare."

Let's be real here. I think most people can all relate, even little Bradley.. that we were all a kid once. Everybody was. We've all been to the point where, we could honestly NOT give a fuck. All we would think about are video games like Super Mario Bros and Duck Hunt. Or Zelda, and Pokemon on the old game boy color. Come home to a nice tomboy room and just kick back and watch some Arthur and Zoom. Go to sleep with your hair wet, wake up put no sort of bra on, put on a flannel and jeans and "sneakers" and walk out the door. No mirrors required.

If only..if only we could turn this all back. Hit our little selves in the head and say "NO, THIS IS STUPID. DO NOT LOOK IN THE MIRROR IT'LL CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOREVER!" Impossible! Preposterous! Pish Posh!... but that day came. Where you started thinking about how you looked or how you wanted to impress some boy or girl. When you finally got over the epidemic of cooties, you glanced in the mirror and saw yourself. You saw those tiresome eyes that have been feasting on T.V. and video games since you got home from school, and you saw that uneven hair cut and that hideous dirt under your nails. And finally, you walked away. Walked upstairs and changed yourself forever..
