Reflection

Today, after 10 years, I found this photo forgotten in my trunk of memories. Sometimes, I feel that coincidences are not so coincidental and that for some reason this day happened to you at that time. I have become nostalgic over the years. I remember how I were and compare it with what I came to be; I visualize it and feel so distant from that moment. Today, I thank for the way traveled: good things and bad things, people that I met, people who have stayed and those who have not. All of these have made me the person I am today.

When that photo was taken, I had to be the experiment of my best friend from the university, who decided to take photography classes. We traveled to a mechanical engineering congress but she must deliver a project upon arrival, because of that, she took me pictures everywhere and with everything. I confess that to pose it is not my thing; all my photos are identical or I do involuntary funny faces because I feel uncomfortable.

That photo always caught my attention because it was so mysterious and even a bit spooky. Do you? The look of that reflection disturbs my spirit, it generates me restlessness and somehow I sense three different Mayra coexisting at the same time. I have always felt that this reflection knows me better than me. Could be my future? What does this reflection see that I still do not?

There are many things that are still unknown and so many others that somehow perceive and contradict the reason. My scientist's heart contradicts itself from time to time by rationalizing these crazy ideas that come to my mind.

Anyway, as long as there is health, my path will continue. I hope it does not happen to me as my grandfather said: “When the experience comes, it is no longer useful”.
