Existe um instante, geralmente de manh� cedo ou tarde da noite, em que a casa silencia e o mundo l� fora parece ter parado di exigir algo de n�s. � nesse instante que nos encontramos diante dele. O espelho.
Na maior parte do dia, n�s o usamos com distra��o. Serve para conferir se estamos em ordem, para ajustar uma dobra da jaqueta, para maquillar um cansa�o que n�o queremos mostrar. N�s o usamos para confirmar a imagem que decidimos vender ao mundo. Mas h� um momento em que o olho para de deslizar sobre a superf�cie e afunda. � o momento em que voc� para de olhar para o reflexo e come�a a olhar para quem est� por tr�s dele.
O espelho � um limite. � uma superf�cie fria que, no entanto, devolve um calor assustador: a verdade de quem somos naquele preciso momento, sem os filtros das redes sociais, sem as desculpas que contamos aos amigos, sem as m�scaras que usamos no escrit�rio ou, quando estamos realmente em dificuldade conosco, at� com as pessoas que amamos.
Olhar-se no espelho exige um tipo de coragem que n�o se ensina na escola, mas que se aprende l� onde tudo come�a, quando somos crian�as.
Quem temos � nossa frente enquanto crescemos � o nosso primeiro espelho; se ele for ausente, n�o nos permitir� ver a n�s mesmos; se for hiperpresente, n�o nos permitir� olhar-nos a n�o ser atrav�s dos olhos dele, at� que sejamos for�ados a faz�-lo, talvez muito, muito mais tarde, para parar de sobreviver e come�ar a viver. Olhar-se no espelho � a coragem de ficar, de n�o desviar o olhar quando notamos uma ruga de express�o que n�o conhec�amos, o quando os nossos pr�prios olhos nos devolvem uma pergunta para a qual n�o sabemos a resposta.
O espelho n�o mente, mas tamb�m n�o � cruel; � apenas terrivelmente sincero. Reflete a espessura da nossa subst�ncia, ou a transpar�ncia da nossa aus�ncia, ou a opacidade da nossa indecis�o.
Neste livro, o espelho ser� o nosso companheiro de viagem. Cada cap�tulo, cada palavra que voc� encontrar, ser� um convite para levantar o olhar e confrontar-se com essa imagem. �s vezes ser� agrad�vel, como uma luz que beija o contra-luz tornando-nos orgulhosos da nossa rota. Outras vezes ser� cansativo, como acender uma l�mpada que descobre o p� num canto da sala que hav�amos decidido nunca limpar.
Pe�o-lhe apenas uma coisa, antes de virar a p�gina: n�o tenha pressa em se descobrir, se aceitar, se questionar e, finalmente, se gostar.
Fique na d�vida, fique na fenda, fique at� no sil�ncio, se for preciso.
