Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards. Soren Kierkegaard

Because we had no time to go to Versailles, we took our youngest on a tour of the magnificent Garnier Opera House in Paris. The hall of mirrors and the jewel box rooms are reminiscent of the magnificent grandeur of the palace, at least to our Australian eyes.

There are two rooms that have infinity mirrors, plus the hallway that reflects on either side.

Sort of like us, the sum of every person we were before making up the present individual that we are. What you see is the human that is a reflection of every existence they've been in the past, Stretching all the way back to birth. We can't erase it, it's there if we look, but we can mould ourselves into the best version we can or just shift our focus to the best light and narrow down on the person we are now.  

"They say that a person's personality is the sum of their experiences...[but] we're more than the mistakes we made yesterday...we are all of our next choices, too, all of our tomorrows." Fredrick Backman, Anxious People
