What does it mean to be alive to you?
Is it to thrive and enjoy life?
To simply survive and endure it?
Or does it mean to simply not be dead?

There's no definite answer to the question, the same with the question of are cats and dogs better? Or is blue better than red? Opinions will always overlook the prospect of facts. At least, that's what Floris thought. For years, opinions had swayed facts. Corrupt politicians with emotions being ahead of their reason, and when money blinds those alike. Power, life, money, feelings. None of it has logical answers, but there's one thing that always, and should've always had one definition.

Death. 

It's to die, to cease existence and to breathe the last breath of your body's soul. To die isn't just to cease being, but memory. 
But what happens if you only ever die physically? Your memory goes on, never dying and forcing your soul to forever be tethered to the human realm.  
It never should've ended how it did, but even so, he never wanted to be thrown back into the mess that was being alive. 

As you might be wondering, why is he talking about life and death? What's up with all this phycological stuff? I don't care just let me read the book! And the thing is, it's all connected. You may want to read the book, but for what reason must I continue to play the part of being its main source of entertainment? At what point does being creative instal more fear rather than joy in its characters? The answer is, with all opinions expressed and ignored simultaneously, there is never a limit for an authors pen, for an artists brush, for a humans brain.

At what point does hot feel cold? And when does cold turn hot? Again, there's no answer in this world not morphed by human opinion. So I'll let you, not as the author, not as the character, not as anything other than the reader and viewer of this story.

At what point, does a book need to finish?
At what point, does an author set their pen down?
At what point, does a character snap?

***this book contains suicidal thoughts and tendencies, may not be appropriate for younger audiences*** In which she looks for the purpose of life. Lily Carter's parents died in a car crash leaving her and Laura, girl was depressed long before her parents passed away and with all the problems turning up now, Lily felt more miserable - if that's even possible. With her journey to look for life's purpose and grab the small pinch of HOPE - which is ironically her second name -, will she finally snap at the pressure and finally end it all? or will a small light lit her darkened world of grief and loneliness? * "So you know. The little goth girl who gets bullied is indeed a mess. There's this mess in her head that eats her alive everyday isn't it? What to do now Kaden? Tell the whole neighborhood and recieve an award for taking out a crazy in this world?" I spit like vomit. His eyes warmed up as I finished, "Lily. It isn't like that" "What is it then? People stopped caring... they gave up, why aren't you?" I fought my tears. "Because I feel the need to care. Did Leigh hurt you? Did she hit you?" he finally noticed the unusual redness of my cheek. I don't like the way he told me he needed to care for me. I felt like an obligation, a responsibility that he is carrying and carrying leads to getting tired and when people gets tired, they give up. I don't want them to give up on me. But they will, so it's good not to make them care for me in the first place. "I never needed anyone. I stopped needing anyone before, why start now?" I uttered the words again. Why? There is nothing to fight for. No mama. No papa. No sister to love me. No one. So why would I waste my life and the time of others to fix what is already broken - and someone who doesn't want to be fixed? If I may add. Maybe I gave up. No, scratch that. I gave up a long time ago - when my parents died, my hope and purpose went away with them.

Faced with his new reality, he quickly realizes that he has to drop his mortal way of thinking if he wanted to have a comfortable life in the vast universe.

With new the ideals, mentality, desire, and ambition he never new he could have, He decides to carve a path to reach his goal. The only question is ' To what extent is he willing to go to achieve the impossible.' " A lot of people want to reach the peak of existence for different reasons.

Do you know why" He said towards the army of demons and gods flying towards him. He got ready to jump off the tall building to confront them as he flexed his muscles. *BANG* Like a bullet, he shot off with explosive speed. " IT'S BECAUSE YOU STAND IN MY PATH TO PERFECTION"

If you opened cover of this book that means you are interested of something, maybe it was the cover of the book or some friend gave you a suggestion what to read or maybe you are part of book club and heard it from there. What sounds boring if you want to look awesome in social media but this book may help you to see life from other perspectives or you just got a new paper for toilet. Sometimes there come moments where you need to sit down and start ask question what is happening in your life, but how to do that ? Life is full of stories how you should live your life to be a happy and what to eat next morning to feel much more successful. If you are going to the books store, guess what there are hundreds of books about happiness, success and how to understand life. You could read them all year along and learn by heart and post them into Facebook to tell the world that you are the happiest person in life. But the real question is , do you understand the life as it is and are you using right data for that and do you know how to analyze that to see different perspectives, Yeah off course don't get me wrong, it is good that you finished school, got a job, bought new house or car , even if you got a new amazing meal that same day, is this still a happy life for long term ? Smart people say that simple things matter in life and we have to enjoy them to make it more meaningful, but let's be honest, would you give fuck more about a girl or a boy who is enjoying your jokes and company what you could offer with your mindset not with your phone. Are you a materialistic person or are you more spiritual. The bond between to humans are made by values what you have common and understand them on same level, not like "yeah mate I reed your last Facebook post and I feel you from bottom of the heart", what sound really great, but feels very cheese. What brings happiness in your life, Facebook ?

A few months ago, I bought a mug with gold gilt. On sale. Not a gift either nor because of an occasion to remember by it. Just plain, pretty mug for 15PLN. I drank my coffee from it since. I spat loose tea leaves into it. It never felt particularly significant. An ordinary object. Only when I lost it, I realised its true value. I sat comfortably at my desk one evening. Looking at my phone, I reached to take my song-text notebook. Trivial situation. My clumsy fingers were unable to avoid the mug. They allowed it to topple over, to slip from the desktop. Even though I did not see the split-second occurrence, I felt the pressure of unease. My head painted the trajectory of the fall on its own, the shattering, spillage. The loss. For a millisecond I still had hope, that I would be able to catch the mug, that I would be able to avoid what was about to happen. But I knew I was headed for failure. I don't have any superpowers. I only scalded my fingers. I looked at the mug's new shape for a long while, at the shattered pieces. At the spilling liquid. Our adventure came to an end. Irrevocably. I won't be drinking coffee from it anymore, nor spit tea leaves into it. Well. I shouldn't be sad, it was just a regular mug, just like thousands of others. I grew to like it, it kept me company throughout hundreds of warm drinks. I lost it. I hate this feeling the most. In the moment when I am losing something, I stop in my tracks, I hold my breath. It is always a very intense moment. A short one, but one that gives me the tight unpleasant feeling in my stomach. The feeling of loss is always accompanied by hope. Silly and naïve. Making me believe so strongly, that I can make it. That I will still be able to catch the mug mid-flight. When the feeling is entering the body, crawling into me I realise, how important it was to me. Whether it's Nivan or a stupid mug with gold gilt.

Yes, it is sad... I am not prone to drama like the rest of you. Our lives are encompassed with monotonous events, the usual really: eat, sleep, work, repeat. But honestly, am I complaining? I can, I could have... But the question remains, do I even have the energy to spark up a fire? We could be flowers, adorning ourselves to appear more attractive for the bees' ocellus. Or glow brighter than the sun to entice. But why go through all that hustle when we can just live through the eyes of another? Seems simpler enough anyway. Suck the adrenaline rush of the stunners. The ones that even with just a sneeze, the entire earth would shake, sprinting towards them. Their being, the forbidden tree, strutting at the centre of the Garden of Eden. Their souls, Magnetite. We could attempt. But I do not want to. I try as much as possible to stay away from the disease. As thrilling as it may be: he who will swallow the apple seed must consider the size of his stomach. So why spend a thousand back-breaking years thereafter mopping up the residue? Have the moles drag down your name into the pits with them. Surely, we are not that desperate, are we? Never eye the wife of thy neighbour in fear that she just might be a white fowl with beautiful feathers. So why can I not just stay in my lane? Why can't we? So join in, enter my mind and live out your most exciting reality through the eyes of others. Read it, watch it, envision it. Better than allowing life to feed us up with a spoon of chaos, attracting a series of tornadoes into our mundane worlds. And maybe, we might just fall in love.
