Farther than I

What’s the story you want to tell? What category will it fall in? Fiction? Non-fiction? Comedy? Horror? What is it? I want to tell the story of a woman who has no children. She’s always dreamed of baring a child.Since the age of single digits, she asked her great grandmother what she always wanted to be when she grew up. The great grandmother’s reply was, “I’ve always wanted to be a mother.” Since then, the girl wanted the same for herself. This girl decided to live life a little bit and start stacking up some chips so that way her life could be set the child. Of course, she has also had to come to the realization that a suitable partner was necessary in this child baring process. That was the most challenging part. To this day she still doesn’t have any children though she is getting older and she writes to her I hope children whether it is adopted or not. Some may say she’s crazy. Others may say it’s a beautiful notion. Depends on your perspective. Is there any other story you’d like to tell? No no, I didn’t really plan on telling many stories. Do you know what my favorite story from You is? No, and I don’t really want to know. It’s the one where you get her all the time and you haven’t learned your lesson with the life. No matter how many times you tell the story... you always seem to get back up and keep going for what it really is it you want. The issue is that do you also know that you cannot fight for other people at the same time. They have to fight for themselves. It’s sad because you also want to be on a team or in some sort of group that feels like family or a kinship that is worthwhile, but that’s a rarity. Don’t you know only certain people are allowed that blessing? Yes. I know these things. You don’t have to remind me. Oh, trust me! I know I don’t have to remind you. I just like to remind you. So you feel it in your chest. Sinking deeper, feeling heavier, feeling darker as each word applies pressure to your chest until you feel compressed. Why do you like to tear me down? Why don’t you just leave me alone? Why should I have to leave you alone? I live with you. I am bored. And we both know what happens when I get bored. I don’t like to think about it much. I try to keep you entertained. I don’t like that it’s my job. Why can’t life be easier? Because it would be boring.
