People say there is sadness in my eyes Behind The Glass with Charlotte Eriksson

A writing from my book Everything Changed When I Forgave Myself ♡



They say you can trace a person’s history, hidden emotions and
unhealed scars in their appearance. How you act, how you walk, how
you laugh. Do you have a broken heart? It shows. Are you in love? It
shows.


They say bad skin reveals stress or anxiety. Do you blink a lot or do
you keep a steady gaze during a conversation? Do you talk clearly
with strong support from your stomach, or do you speak quietly
and fast, running over your words? Have you ever tried not to eat,
just to keep some sort of focus? Sad people either sleep a lot or not
at all.


I often wonder what people see when they look at me. What energy
do I send out? Do I look happy? Do I look sad? Do I look friendly?
Do I look like someone you'd want to hang out with? Do I look like
someone you could like?


Do I look insecure, or like I'm strong and sure, a role model to
follow? Do I look like someone who threw my fist into a mirror
because I simply saw myself in there and couldn't stand the thought
of it?


People say there is sadness in my eyes but the sadness sits in my
chest so I wonder what it is they see in my eyes.
