What if the mirror talked back?

What if the mirror talked back at you? No, not in a horror movie kind of way. All of us have probably wondered what it would be to be talking to a replica of ourselves. After all, we all seek people who understand us and who would better understand us than ourselves? Imagine how many hours you would spend talking to each other, about everything, every opinion you have, every passion. It would be an amazing experience, but it would also creep you out if someone you met was ever that similar to you, because you would not believe it possible. Maybe you would obsess about finding a flaw, a disagreement, something to break the spell! Or you would try to exhaust all possible topics, as fast as you can, because you know your life has a time limit and you would never be able to exchange all the thoughts and opinions you want. If you ever met such person, you would not care what kind of label is attributed to your relation, because all that matters is the connection between you both, which is beyond sight and physicality. And imagine how much you could learn by talking to yourself! Imagine how much you could improve yourself. That is, after all, the principle behind introspection and self-reflection. If you ever met that person, what would you do? How would you feel? An immeasurable sense of joy and happiness? Would you let yourself be consumed by this person?

Just some food for thought :)
