Catoptrophobia

Catoptrophobia is the fear of mirrors. Yes, mirrors. The thing is though; I only fear them because of what they show. Mirrors only seem to show that half of you. You know, it’s the image that your clothes and your hair are who you really are. And they aren’t. They just prove that everyone is trying to be something they’re not.

So the mirror explains all the truth to the whole world. It spills out your lie and tries to get the world to believe it. So here’s my idea. I want to make that mirror image of me completely real and who I am.
