Ever tried to chat with your reflection, hoping to hear tales from a past life? Yesterday, as I was rearranging the bookshelf (a duty I share faithfully every Tuesday with row 37 vying for more space), I overheard the mirror laughing. Odd? Sure, but not nearly as odd as hearing it chuckle about the industrial revolution while applying rouge in the Victorian style. Moments like this make you question history books, you know?
Imagine this: One day, I looked at my reflection, and it wasn’t me looking back. It was a fellow with tophat asking when we’d get back to the opera. The reflection, uninvited and sophisticated, offered me a drink (must be imaginary vodka) and spoke of the days when opera was life’s grand pastime, and it wasn’t just memes on TikTok.
Reflective discussions aside, have you ever noticed how mirrors in antique shops feel like portals? While trying to decipher a dusty logbook in the attic, I stumbled upon a seldom-visited corridor. Inside was a mirror whispering secrets of laughter — echoes of times we never lived but felt profoundly familiar. They say laughter is contagious; I'm still trying to figure out how to catch this echo without a gramophone and a dancing partner.
Confused? Not as much as the Edwardian gentleman in my mirror. Maybe he could model for a peculiar online gallery.
Return to your reflection. Or perhaps, glance into another room filled with hidden echoes.
