Broken Mirror

7 years bad luck -

If you’ve ever broken a mirror, did you worry about the sudden onslaught of bad luck you might have to face? Did you notice things starting to go wrong suddenly? Or perhaps you just saw the inconvenience of having to clean up all that broken glass. Either way, throughout history the connotations of breaking a mirror have divided many cultures and religions.

It was the ancient Romans who first suggested the idea of a broken mirror bringing seven years bad luck. This stems from another piece of Roman lore stating that every seven years life would renew itself and any broken parts of your life – such as health issues – would be fixed.

So, if a mirror smashed and your image was the final thing it reflected, then you’d have to endure seven long years of misfortune before the curse ended and good luck was renewed.

There were measures that could be taken to prevent this bad luck though. You could take the shattered pieces and bury them by the light of the moon, for example, or take a fragment to a graveyard and touch it against a tombstone.

At first,

I legitimately cried my eyes out and cussed up a storm because it was the last thing I was putting in my car moving from my old place into my new one.

I then,

Began picking up the pieces and was about to throw in them away. However, I changed my mind. I feel breaking this mirror today; where it broke, when it broke, how it broke and why it broke all happened for a reason. That reason I’m unsure of at this time. But, maybe if I can piece it back together, it will be a new positive omen that the next 7 years will be much better than the last; BECAUSE HONESLTY, I HAVE ZERO LUCK LEFT.

Just as I have thus far in my life, I have to make due with the broken pieces and move forward and on. Check back to see the final project soon!!
