And just like that, this post hit me on a really deep and personal level.
I can't say I am familiar with all of the experiences you've had to go through, but I am familiar with the pain, anxiety, and depression.
In my own writing, I am hoping to portray two heroes who, quite frankly, go through hell... yet still decide to become heroes anyway, when what they love is put on the line.
God bless, my friend. And I wish you the best going forward.
It's fascinating to think what this era has brought out in people.
I've spoken personally about how much of "The Hunt" reflects personal struggles I've had with anger management, depression, and anxiety; the characters in that particular series being refractions of myself, with Val the all-encompassing avatar. I find writing for them to be the most healing in my life as I get to explore them without having to wallow in the self-piteous autobiographical drama that is so easy to misuse. There's fun to be had, but not without sincere drama.
I think at the end of the day, there's no escaping the use of art to express something personal about ourselves, it's all in how you go about it. Glad to hear you have a fulfilling way to express yourself and these themes through your work. Here's to a bright and sparkling future, Friend.
