Mirror, Mirror

You want to know something? I bet a lot of people do this, but I have this weird habit where I talk to myself in the mirror, and I have pretend conversations with people. A lot of the time, I just have something that I want to get off of my chest, but I don't really want to actually tell that person, so I just tell my mirror and pretend that it's them. Stupid, huh? Well, I was just wondering about that...

I wonder if, since I get those feelings off of my chest and onto the mirror, maybe there are some things that I really should have said to that person, instead of imagining it? Not all the time, of course. Most of the time, I'm telling the mirror-person how upset I am about this stupid little thing that that person did, and we usually regret those conversations when we've had them with the real thing.

No, I'm thinking about those times when I share something more significant, and almost important. Something personal that, for some odd reason, I felt that that person should hear, but I defaulted to the imaginary them in order to get it out. I was just thinking: what would life be like if I said those things to the actual people in my life?

Don't count on it. I'm far too much of a panty-waist.
