Existentialist considerations
<center>![not-to-be-reproduced.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZLFnp591JAxjncfnBaSXEbPNBdsXexeaH8Fh5hRUWGxy/not-to-be-reproduced.jpg)</center>

<div class="text-justify"> It's hard to really satisfy yourself. It is quite improbable, by the way. By looking in the mirror at different stages of life, indiferent of how this stage is, you are not looking at a list of goals reached or unresolved, but rather a pair of deep, scary eyes, the greatest accomplices of your inner silence unencumbered or explicable. 

His tired appearance tells you what is dictating the rules of the moment, his unshaven beard leaves in doubt whether it is some kind of personal protest about the culture of male subliminal vanity or if you simply see no reason to cut it all days with a butter face.

It only becomes nostalgic when you stop doing what made you happy.

No matter how much joy the present bring to you, the increasingly gross weight of reality and forced maturity devastate your strength and courage, to the point where you smile, so you do not have to explain your sadness. Why, after all, who is really ready to face a weakness and a sadness of other people? Everyone (almost everyone) is very brave and strong indeed, because we wear the social face all morning, cooks, lawyers, housewives, business owners, waiters, porno actors, everyone need to be strong in the morning, at least half of the days of their lives, for in the other half, they are well, it is not difficult to wake up when we feeling fine.

And there face to face with your eyes, in that big mirror of the bathroom, at the first flirt with yourself of this new day you remember your hypochondriac fears, your anxieties for your service, your pains in the knee, remember your child ilness, the disagreement with his wife, the problem in the car. And question himself (no, no question, no question in the morning, cause you wake up ignorant and still sleepy), but as soon as possible, will question as to where his life has gone after all.
At what exact point did you release the reins? At what point did you stop picking out so fundamental details of this script (which is the only one that you have)? 

They are questions blown to the wind, and may fit, even if slowly, as fuel for a possible change, real and strong enough to be definitive. As definite as its existence.</div>

Great post, you make sense of an untouched matter. Albeit, you might think of getting yourself an amateur / professional translator. Profound topics, cerebral and poetic are more often then not hard to transpose to an unfamiliar language. It might sound good for a technical translation, word for word, and be easy for someone from the same linguistic background as you, but a native reader will have trouble following your logic.

I see you say you're trying to make your English better, so here goes nothing. Remember: a translation should not be only a transcription of facts, but rather a rewriting for a whole other culture to understand. For instance, when you say "looking in the mirror", you'd just be better off using the preposition "into" as it sounds a whole lot more congruent to the sense of self-perception.  There are a few expressions that perhaps were too directly translated. 

You may also find yourself lost on a maze of "Is", but don't be afraid of them, you may wish to try and write more in the first person rather than to the reader. 
English is not a lyric language, it's always hard for someone with a direct Latin background to correctly express ideas without thinking they're sounding redundant. In your own tongue, the wor(l)d is your oyster. If you need any hints just drop a reply, I'm always trying to help.

@topkpop ·
oooh very interesting post. You pose a very strong question. Not enough people want to address the person they see in the mirror, the real person, or even the fake person with the pasted on smile that they must feel they must show to the world. That question regarding reins is a great, and very deep probing question. Good for you for even thinking of it, better than most to even acknowledge it's existence. Love this. Keep it up.

Thanks @topkpop. Life have hard moments but have some great things too, i dont think in this "pessimist" form everyday, but when this happen, i think that is important go deep in this thoughts, exactly to be able to break this superficial perceptions about the life!
