An optical illusion has emerged, supposedly claiming it can uncover whether your future will be full of blessings or major challenges.
Content creator Mia Yilin shared a now-viral video suggesting that what you first decipher can help you discover insights into your personality — and even your life.

The black-and-white image shows vertical lines — but upon a closer look, there are two lips kissing.
So what’s the first thing you see in the picture?
If you first saw the lines, Mia suggests your greatest quality is your kindness.
“Your heart hurts for those going through hard times, even when you may be struggling yourself,” she explained.
“Due to your goodness, you will receive many blessings and surprises in your life.
“You are a sensitive person with a delicate mind. You can easily understand the feelings of others and you pay great attention to other people and their relationships.”
If you first saw the lips kissing, Mia said there would not be any major challenges in your future.
“Even when obstacles do come up you will surpass them with ease,” she said.
Mia claimed you would not need to worry about food, money, shelter or clothing.
“The older you become, the more prosperous you will be,” she said.
“Since you were a child, you have always been very responsible toward others.”
In your career, she suggests you will receive “support and assistance when you most need it”.
“As long as you continue working hard, things will just get better and better,” she added.
Her video has been viewed more than 110,000 times, with one saying: “You are always on point.”
Another suggested: “Why do you always get to know me better than I do?”
One shared: “Saw the kissing lips. Hope you’re right because, right now, my life is miserable.”
While another added: “I saw both so double the blessings.”
‘Traditional art’
In an interview with The Morning Show in late August, hosts Kylie Gillies and Larry Emdur asked Yilin whether there was “science” behind her own interpretations of optical illusions.
“I’d say yes and no,” she said.
“Yes in the sense that this idea of translating image to personality is a traditional art that has been practised in Chinese culture.
“But at the same time, I do recognise that it is really what you make of it.
“And, at the end of the day, if I am able to make people laugh, provoke them to think, make them feel less alone, then, to me, my job is accomplished.”
Everyday life
Yilin said she sources the pictures from her everyday life.
“A lot of different ways of finding these images actually,” she explained.
“If I see cool pictures in books, movies, on the internet, sometimes even taking a stroll outside and seeing cool patterns in nature, I will just take a picture of it and include it in my videos.”
Yilin said her fascination with optical illusions started in the past year when she started posting videos about them online.
“I have always been surrounded by things like palm readings and face readings, which are huge parts of Chinese culture so I’ve gravitated towards optical illusions,” she said.
“And upon coming across them in the past year, my mind has just been racing.”
