THE REFLECTION

The reflection

I represent the struggle he has always known, always felt, a broken home, a broken belt, resilience, survival mode.

She represents the absence of struggle, none of the above, not in that way, two parent households, 401k’s, cereal with golden spoons, and retirement homes.

The american dream and the american nightmare

We represent what he is trying to get away from, she represents what he always thought he should be. What he always deserved.

The reflection.
