Chapter Text
Most people, once they are older, cherish their teen days, as it was when they could feel slight freedom; a period of rebellion but also a period of crucial growth. Though, adolescence is not only remembered for these motives.
When your age reaches the double digits, we tend to start feeling all grown up and, with the society of now, we are forced to do so quickly.
If we go back a few years in time, the atmosphere and lifestyle were quite different. Young teenagers used to be satisfied with the simplest things; you gave them solely a ball and they would manage to do so many different activities with their friends.
Now, how many are like that?
They see someone with something cooler and high technological and they want it too.
Although, this is our present, who is to say that the past won't repeat itself?
One factor that has remained relatively constant are superstitions, especially in certain areas of the world.
Superstitious people may be less if you compare them with the past, but they are still present.
People believe that if a black cat passes by you, then definitely something will go wrong in your life soon. Others believe that if someone shatters a mirror then they will be cursed with seven years of misfortune...
All these superstitions are not without any reason. They all derive from ancient myths which were passed on generation for generation, until the present time.
The Romans and Greeks had very different beliefs and their knowledge was still very backwards.
If you were to shatter a mirror, the misfortune you will have would it be because of it or is it just inevitable, a part of our destiny?
