i want to know the first person who told you your beauty could be reflected in a lousy piece of glass.

because it's not true.

you in all your mistaken thinking so quickly fall into the trap of supposing that because of your fragility and how easily you are broken then you must not have the unfading brilliance and beauty that those who do not fall have. i want you to know right now and never forget that it is never, ever, ever a fall that destroys ones beauty. and when you get back up even with the dust and bumps and bruises from the fall, well, that is when your beauty shines brightest. but don't look for that kind of beauty in that lousy looking glass. you'll never find it there.

the rays of beauty, like those of light, are colourless when unbroken.
