Belle: The Beast in the Mirror
Love doesn’t tame monsters. It teaches them to hide.
Years after her wedding, servants whispered that the queen avoided mirrors. Sometimes, her reflection blinked after she turned away. Her husband’s portrait grew darker with each year — until his eyes disappeared entirely.
One night, Belle caught her reflection smiling without her. By morning, the mirror was gone — and so was she.
Now the palace stands empty. Visitors say they see her in reflections of candlelight, holding a rose made of glass, whispering, “He’s still inside.”

Having Things You Enjoy And Relax You Mean What To Life?
As we live life do we work until we die or do we mix it up and put things that help us relax into it too? Sure we might retire after working twenty years or whatever, but do we work all the time or do we relax and take breaks? Now I know most people are probably thinking well what do you do on weekends? Yes I try to relax on weekends and do my hobbies but sometimes I work too, as some of my hobbies are what I consider work. Blogging for example can be a hobby for some but work for others, but I really have tried to stop working on weekends and just focusing on my hobbies. Years ago however that wasn’t the case but now it is the focus which is great, I am focused more on the things that I enjoy that help me relax. When I do this I feel as though I get more out of life, and with that I feel so much better about myself. The more I put my hobbies into my life the more relaxed I feel. An example of hobbies that relax me is watching television to clear my mind and reading my novels, just to name a few.
