I packed up today and did my last orders. All my work is done. Turned my business phone off. A nice thing about ending a chapter is we get to start a new one. I think I am done with this chapter of my life. I don't know if it is time to close the book blew out the candle that has been burning on both sides for so long now.
Did you know, I don't have or own a mirror? I normally use the car's mirrors to make myself more presentable. In my little home, I don't have one.
Once upon a time, I was just small, looking at a mirror. One day I was alone in my mother's bedroom and I looked left and the reflection didn't. It stared at me. I lift my hands it didn't. As a child, I saw a friend at first. Someone to talk to someone that understands. I spend hours in front of the mirror with my only friend.
One day I looked at the mirror and my friend looked back at me. I spoke and said, "Hi how are you today,". My friend said she can no longer stay. I started to cry so did she, my tears were clear hers were red. She disappeared my reflection became my own again. From that day my right eye's tears are blood. It is a medical condition so they say.
I then realized the only thing that ever cared about me wasn't even supposed to care at all. I lit a candle and said goodbye. I cried and blew the candle out. 10 days later the mirror shattered. They say it was the heat of the candle I lit 10 days ago.
I just said my friend went home.
