Ever since I first started writing more complex stories, when I was around 13 years old, I've enjoyed diving into darker topics. There was always something intriguing about exploring the very depths of the human mind that kept on pulling me in. I've decided that my first public story should encompass something I've found to be true, at least for myself. I believe, that only when we look deep inside our darkness as human beings, truly look for our flaws, can we understand what is wrong, accept it and find ways to do better. Because in the end, darkness, although unpleasant, has and will always be a part of our lives. And being scared of it, pushing it away, pretending it doesn't exist, will only make it feel scarier. I believe it's our duty as writers or artists in general to not be afraid of life and face topics we'd rather not.
