  1. I would like to see myself, exactly as I am. But I don’t think I would.

    What is my heart’s desire?

    Is it me as a mother?

    Is it me as a successful artist?

    Is it me with the person I miss most? Him being happy and healthy and on a good path.

    It could be me as a healer. A person who can take the pain away. Save others as a way to feel useful.

    Maybe I would see me and a mirror of Erised. And the mirror in the mirror would show me as I am.

    Fact is, I do not know exactly what my heart desires. But I do know that what I have is not bad at all.
