#selfReflection #english You can look at the wall. Stare at it for as long as you need. It appears to be blank to the naked eye. Take another look. Are you sure it is blank? How can you tell? If your mind is what controls what you can see, then how do you know that nothing is there? Perhaps a mirror is missing from the wall. The mirror that you desperately need. Not to look at yourself, but to find THAT familiar face. The face that you have missed all along. The person who once was but is no more. Is that the reason the mirror is missing from the wall? Perhaps you don’t need THAT familiar face. Perhaps you just need any face. Someone who you can talk to and seek validation. Maybe you don’t need a solution or advice—maybe a second opinion is redundant to you. Maybe all you really seek is validation—validation that what you see is true. That what you feel is not an illusion. But what if it is? And what if that scares you? Is that the reason the mirror is missing from the wall? Take a look in the mirror, I can assure you it is there. However, I cannot assure you of what you will see. Can you? When you look into the mirror can you without any doubt tell me that what you see is the real you? Can you assure me that what you see is not a fabricated image of what society has fed into your consciousness? Is that the reason the mirror is missing from the wall? Is it because you’re afraid of the reflection? A reflection of broken promises, unrealized dreams, and unfinished stories. Stare at the wall again. Why is the mirror missing from the wall? M. E
