I don't have a place where I can really just let my thoughts out. They tend to just stay bottled up and away until I forget about them entirely. So I've decided to put them here: thoughts, frustrations, vents, anything. I'm not really sure if this sort of thing is normal here - I honestly don't know much at all about this site despite having posted here before. I understand the resources to learn are blatantly available, and one day I will be hit with the right amount of motivation and resolve which, assuming that I have a way to access this site the moment that happens, will allow me to spend some hours learning everything I need to. But until that day I'm just going to assume this is normal enough to at least go unnoticed.
Why is it always a promise? Why is it always a mentor-mentee relationship gone wrong? Someone is always either betrayed in some way or killed. Or they get together and have a messy breakup. Or they mutually end the relationship before getting back together after years of endless pining and jealousy. Or all of that but with their best-friend. Or really any friend. Why is it always a story about someone making something out of nothing? Of turning poverty into prosperity? Isn’t that less of someone's story and more feeding the fire of many people's collective fantasy? How do you go about writing a story free of tropes and cliches and outside influences? It’s impossible, because those things make up the stories that make up our foundational understanding of how to create and tell them. That’s why it takes so long to write anything good, or good enough, because they need to come alive on their own, in their own time, at their own pace. Otherwise, they're just copies of copies. I mean they're already destined to be that, but at least they'll gain their own autonomy. Hopefully. A bit. Probably. I don’t know anymore.
