The Fall : Mia's Character Brief.

Everything was normal for Mia. A simple happy life, of course not without the usual family and social difficulties, but overall she was enjoying her life. It was just another ordinary day, a few months after she turned 18, when she start asking herself ‘why!?’.

At first it was interesting to ask ‘why’ for everything, and she felt that she is reaching a deeper level of understanding the life. She was reading many books about the experience of living and being ‘alive’ as well as writing about her new ideas and discoveries every day.

It’s a been a year since she started her big ‘why’ quest! and one day she made her biggest discovery. She was sitting in a park alone on a nice spring day when it hit her;”of all these WHYs that she’s been asking, she hasn’t been able to answer even one of them!”. She realized that all she’s been doing was struggling to find an answer for a big ‘why’, and the truth is she didn’t even have any real question, it was just a ‘why’ attached to everything! Suddenly everything seemed meaningless! and she started to remember her life, “it was painful” … and she realized that she hasn’t been happy for so long. She didn’t know who she was, or what to she wanted … Too much was happening in her mind and she couldn’t handle it, so she just became silent.

The concerns of family and friends and their suggestions looked stupid to her! She knew there’s no point in living! it wasn’t that she didn’t want to have any reasons or goals, she couldn’t find anything important! and all the other people who can’t see this were all idiots for her! ” if they start asking why! then they see it too!” she told herself.

By time she learned to live with her point of view, at least for the sake of her parents, but from time to time she had this fascination of ending her life and she did it a thousand times in her dreams and it felt good! however, she never felt that she’s brave enough to do it.
