Meanwhile… 033
Meanwhile… 033
This was originally an idea I had for a short story, some time ago, that involved one person wearing a “special day” where they were happy, and their friend suggesting they might do the same, only to realise that so many of their days weren’t that “special”, but were in fact painful or fraught with negativity.
It was also - as is this - a commentary on how trying to gauge yourself by the lives of others and not wear your own true self can also set the standard of how your life unfolds. I certainly know that I went through a period of time where I just wasn’t happy in myself and that made for unhappy decisions, because I would often set the standard of my happiness by what I believed made others happy.
Be yourself, if you can. That’s where you’ll find happiness. And that’s where happiness is more likely to find you.
And then, there’s Frank, who you may remember from “Meanwhile… 015”
Now we know who the tattoo belongs to, but will we ever meet Frank, the foil to Trish’s happiness?
Do we even want to?
I don’t think Frank would really give us a choice in the matter.
Fucking Frank.
