I grew up knowing that I will need to fulfill my purpose of existing. Everyone only spoke about how wondeful it is to achieve this purpose. Some people say their purpose is helping people, while others say it‘s to entertain everyone. I‘ve also seen how you can find purpose in art and sport. The motto is always “higher, faster, stronger, better“. All their achievements are connected to standing out...

‘Why am I here?’, Matt asked himself for the umpteenth time. ‘I want to make a difference in the world, I want my life to have a purpose.’ He sat down and looked over the ocean. Sitting at a high rock at the shore, he had a beautiful view over the calming waves. After graduating business school last summer, the question had raised to surface: what’s next? Matt knew for sure that he didn’t want a n...

My brother Marcus discovered his purpose when he was 8 years old.

A rogue thunderstorm had sent our new foal into a frenzy, bucking and kicking against the stall, feral and unhinged by the thunder booming across the valley.

Marcus spent the night soothing her, stroking her long mane until she finally fell asleep in the early morning hours. When he reentered our kitchen for breakfast, exhausted...

Afterward, they lay in the dark. The bedroom window was open. A gentle breeze swept in and brushed across Guy's face. He heard a neighbor practicing a guitar. Angel sighed.

"I want to take you home," she said.

"This is your bed. I think you just did," Guy said, pulling her closer.

"I mean, I want to show you where I'm from. I want you to meet Dad."

Guy thought about this for a long moment. "A ...

Scarlett entered the gates of the Midworld to find her true ending. She had guessed dying would be much worse but it was just a long boring line at the DMV. As she got to the front, she was told that she couldn’t enter into any Division here. Her purpose hadn’t been fulfilled. She asked first if her purpose was children but the clerk shook their head. She tried to think of every loose end but noth...

I wake up, confused and shaken.

‘ where am I? ‘

I look at my surroundings. A road. A car. No street lights.

‘ Wait? I’m not not dead? ‘

Suddenly I remember the sound of the car horn and people shouting at me to move out of the way. I also remember the horrified look on the face of the woman that was in the car and the indifferent one of the man just before they crashed into me.

I see police a...

The ancient man sat in his chair, taking long puffs from his pipe. His client was taking longer then expected, but no matter. He had all the time in the world, quite literally. His 12:00 came in, a little worn out but holding herself well as she always did.

“I’m so sorry, what with work and traffic-“

He would let out a hearty chuckle, retorting “Its no issue at all, dear. Come, sit and tell me a...

Hear me out, please. What if you are not actually you?

What if none of your memories are actually yours? What if they were all just planted in your head, and they never actually happened? What if those “memories” are just a character backstory?

What if “your” actions are pre-written, already a formed script? What if none of your choices are yours, you just think they are?

What if you are not th...

Before I die

I wish only for one thing

To melt into your arms

While you hold me

Before I die

I wish only for one thing

To dance with you

Like it’s a daydream

Before I die

I wish only for one thing

To gaze at your eyes

And hear you love me

Before I die

I wish only for one thing

For you to love me

Although I can’t...

At birth I was given a name

Like my father’s, exactly the same

Soon it was my quest

Since I thought it was best

To emulate him in every way

My brother was ever so cool

Next to him I just looked like a fool

So I copied his swagger

(Not to be a bragger

But with him I felt like I ruled!)

And my best friend was Penelope

Who was clever as clever can be

I would jot down her answers

A performa...
