As already briefly explained last time in the SUM of Tuesday, I want to use my Fridays to get a bit new original content onto the site in form of Flash-Fiction (and probably also short stories later on) on a regular basis and not only on random occasions as it has been until now.
I already have a couple of texts prepared for you and I think it'd be easiest to just start off and get today's update, the first of said texts, on the way.
And just to be on the safe side: Each of these very short-short stories I'd like to present to you, has a very individual theme to it. They may not be incredibly fancy as they start out, because of their rather basic nature at the beginning. But I believe they shall entertain you nonetheless (as they also grow more wacky and wonky over time).
Not all of them have titles at the moment, but I may add those later on.
But for now: all the talking aside, enjoy the first flash fiction in this little series.

Reflexions
What is it to life that makes it so incredibly difficult?
Even when you put the ‘Why am I here?’ aside for a moment, it does not ease up anything at all. There is always somebody putting pressure onto you. And although most of these people only seem as if they want to help out, they never stop expecting something in return.
Those people tell you that they only want the best for you, but in secret most of them are only trying to shape you according to themselves. This is something that I had to realize the hard way and I am not proud of it.
What a treacherous habit for any human to have, indeed.
They cover you in sweet words and expect you to swallow them because it is their pure good will which carries you on your way through life. Sadly not even age is able to stop them. They just keep on telling you what would be best to do according to their imagination even after you have grown out of the role as a child or teenager.
I’m growing tired of it all. I’m growing tired of being used by somebody else as his or her canvas.
And after a while it stops mattering whether it is your friends, your father, mother or even your grandparents who are pushing you towards something you don’t want. Despite the love you feel for them, you just can’t take it any longer. And that is exactly where the problem remains to be.
To realize your own dreams and not those of somebody else is what is making ‘living’ so difficult and sometimes furthermore ... straining.
Yet getting those close to your heart to accept something as trivial as this is often harder than you might imagine. It is sad how stubborn people can be although they are only trying to help somebody out.
Then again, we should be grateful that we are allowed to even think of this as a ‘problem’ in the first place. In many eras of the past it would have been unthinkable to raise such a question, to raise these thoughts. You were expected to blindly follow the direction given by your family or sometimes by people you did not know at all. Considering this we are incredibly lucky.
We are lucky that we have the opportunity to stand up for ourselves. Pushing on is the only thing that will ease the process.
It might not be easy and it might just sound like another lie, but there is no other way.
Leave this place behind and start living your life to the fullest.

There you go. I hope you liked reading this little scrap of text taken from my mind. The theme I chose for this one... well yeah... it should at least be pretty self-explanatory.(Hint: look at the poorly chosen headline! and yeah BE - why you ask? well... because my brain felt like it I guess. In all honesty..., I don't have too much right to have a say in most matters.)
Also: "The land shall melt, the sea shall burn and the sky shall fall... but still the mind remains to be eternal."
Taken from my notebook for 'Nightingale'. ...HarHar...
As always, thanks for reading and enjoy your day.
