Well. I must say...you are one of the rare few who didn't have the rug pulled out from under them after receiving all those precious gifts. Self-acceptance is hard, as is dealing with the darkness. You expressed your appreciation so well. I am deeply envious!

"... when I was seeing only dark you gave me multi-colored love" ... I have only had this happen twice in my life (and one time I managed to see it in the moment). A very good write. ~Jim

if indeed that represents the woman in the mirror, there seems no reason for remorse.
On the other hand, when I see the man in the mirror, well, perhaps I shouldn't reflect on that!!
This is yet another piece of quality writing which is complimented by a well selected image.

Intriguing reflective, poetic psychobiography, yep, our personal insecureties, raw, self doubting but with loving fullfifillment, hey presto, that women in the mirror is finally complete .....
" because you showed me
how to finally appreciate
the woman in the mirror"

Thank you for "getting" this one, Tom. I always appreciate your reviews. Lydi***
You followed a fractured road map/to find me ... life, desire, fate. as wickedly good an opening line as any i've read, and i've read many in my life em (fictional and real). read this gem several times. so much here. love and desire, self discovery, hope, weary and nostalgic, it's all on the buffet table for any reader who wants to dive into the banquet. Bravo

Lydi, your words, your thoughts, your emotions held the pen that wrote this with so much thankfulness and and it shows, dear spirit, it shoes.
There are quotes galore to represent how you felt when you created this bliss but the one that shed a tear,
'- instead you led me to a place
i thought i would never see
a place where acceptance
is freely given
a place where being strong
was not a bad thing'
There is strength in never deviating from the Who one is when.. being made to feel peripheral, etc.
Love tries without plan or thought,, to accept flaws, then, listen and thinks outside the fog. You write so passionately,logically, each word laid with honest reflection. Bravo, dear friend, bravo!

I so appreciate your reviews, Ken. Thank you. Lydi**
damn, this is good, Lydi.
and what an opening line..."fractured road map"---
when we just don't like any self we own and someone shows us that
we are worth it even when we think not...it is a blessing.
