Two years later, I try to reflect on myself, analyze the symbols, and think about how this experience has changed me. I am no longer the sad, hopeless girl I saw in the mirror three years ago. I see that girl as an archetypal child – not one of romantic innocence, but one of egocentrism, one that has finally grown up. And I know that on that day, I learned to live. So now here I am, sipping some tea to keep me awake because I no longer want to sleep.
