“Though the Witch knew the Deep Magic, there is a magic deeper still which she did not know. Her knowledge goes back only to the dawn of time. But if she could have looked a little further back… she would have known that when a willing victim who had committed no treachery was killed in a traitor’s stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backward.” - Aslan, C.S. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

The Reflection That Shattered Their Narrative

🗓️ 30 May 2025


🪞 SWANKIFY: Why Some Humans Cannot Tolerate the Mirror of Truth

📅 30 May 2025


✧ The Mirror Is Too Sharp for Fragile Identity ✧

Reflection is not judgement.
It is witnessing.

But when the self-image is stitched from evasion and performance,
even witnessing feels like a blade.

The fragile ego cannot metabolise clarity.
It must protect its illusion:

Always kind. Always victim. Never responsible.

So your stillness becomes an assault.
Your insight, a betrayal.


✧ When You Hold the Mirror—They Panic ✧

You didn’t criticise.
You simply existed in truth.

That was enough.

So they spiral:

  • “You're being negative”

  • “You’re obsessed with the past”

  • “You’re too intense”

  • “That’s not who I am anymore”

They'll write love-and-light captions
to avoid writing an apology.


✧ It’s Not That They Can’t See. It’s That They Won’t. ✧

Truth threatens their comfort.
Clarity threatens their mask.

To revise the story,
they’d have to stop being the hero in it.

And so:
They choose silence.
They choose absence.
They choose spiritual posturing over relational repair.


✧ I Will Not Dim ✧

I am not mean.
I am mirrored.

I will not bend my reflection to flatter distortions.
I will not mask coherence to soothe incoherence.

Their flinching is not my failure.
Their panic is not my punishment.
Their fantasy is not my fault.
