Soooo.... I don't know if anyone's noticed, but I seem to have a pattern in my writings and characters. They all seem to have something horrible happen in their lives that they have no choice but to bounce back from. Don't believe me? Examples:
Violet St. Clair from my current work in progress which is still untitled -_-:
She is a bastard child of a guy who doesn't really love her mother, is sold into slavery at the age of four, sold again when she's 18, doesn't know that... heeheehee, well we have some eager followers for that story so I'm not going to give anymore away ^-^ *evil laughter*
Juli Leopold from my amateur-ish book "The Other Side":
Kidnapped at the age of two to be a citizen of a communist society in which the children's growth are stunted at the age of thirteen, making them mindless slaves forever. She loses both of her best friends, is saved by her long lost best friend, Tom, only to have him die saving her life.
Adelina Marshall (Jeez, I like heroines... one of these days I'm going to write something with a hero) from a very rough project which is untitled:
Has an inconsequential life until she meets Jay Hawkins, who ends up turning her whole perspective on life around and ends of being the love of her life... only to have him die the day he plans to tell her how he feels about her.
Jeanna (again with the heroines) what's-her-name from another really rough, old project of mine:
Is so humiliated by her ex-boyfriend that she doesn't find the will to live anymore... this one was REALLY emo of me, and I totally discontinued this.
Not only that, but most of my poetry is much like this one. Not a single happy one in the bunch.
Hehehee *nervous laughter* I've been asked why I like to portray such depressing emotions all the time, but i don't know... I can't help it. These are the kind of things I come up with. It's not like I have much experience with misery! I mean, I love my life. It doesn't get much better than this.
I guess that's the point of this post then. Friends, parents, and all who have supported me: thank you. You can't imagine how much I love my life, and I'm so grateful. Maybe the reason I write such dismal subjects is because, when it comes to happiness, I don't have much of an imagination! I don't have to imagine being happy, because I am. ^_^
Here's to you guys!
