I dont usually consult the mirror. Even as a kid, I was surprised once when I looked deeply in the mirror, surprised to see some physical changes over a year. This resulted in arising of anatta or 'non-self'* Things dont change that radically now ... but I was once more taken by surprise today.
I saw my expressions in the mirror. Preparing for an interview ... all I saw was hypocrisy, and pain. Why didnt I see this before? I had changed inside, in states of concentration, but I was trying to maintain the same 'self' outside, in my daily interactions. The result was a hypocrite, someone who was trying to hide her truth.
Things are going to change outside, is all I know!

*Though around then I didnt know the technical term 'non-self'/'anatta'.
