In this heartwarming and introspective story, Celine holds a mysterious mirror that has always given her answers to life’s questions—big or small, personal or profound. Every time she asks about her dreams or her path, the mirror provides clear guidance, and she’s come to trust it fully. But when she dares to ask, “Salamin, ano ba talaga ang kasarian ko?” the mirror shows her something different: memories instead of a direct answer. Through these visions, Celine revisits her childhood, teenage years, and young adulthood. As a child, she sees herself happily embracing her feminine identity. As a teen, she starts to realize her attraction to other girls, causing her to question the labels others place on her. By early adulthood, Celine is asking her friends to use they/them pronouns, feeling that neither “girl” nor “boy” completely fits. The mirror finally returns to the present, showing only her reflection—silent, with no clear answer. In this reflective journey, Celine learns that gender is not a fixed concept; rather, it’s fluid and ever-evolving. The mirror doesn’t provide a single answer because gender itself is a journey that changes and grows. Ultimately, Celine understands that she is free to define her own identity, unrestricted by rigid labels. "Salamin, Salamin. Kailan Ako Magiging si Celine" is a tale about embracing one’s evolving identity, learning that true self-acceptance means being open to change, and realizing that gender is a personal journey, as unique and dynamic as the person living it.
