Today I posted Chapter 31 in my FTLO Randivor story. Chapter 31... If you asked me if just a few short months ago if I would have a 30 something chapter story under my belt with over 100,000 words I would have laughed.
I dont know yet where this story is going, or even how to end it. That might come out some if you look close enough. But I hope along the way you find something beautiful, and personal. Something that touches your heart, as it has so many times my own.
Maybe its the creator point of view? Maybe im a sap about my personal successes. I dont know. I feel really proud of this story. I joked with one of my BFFs about doing a cliff hanger for the end. But really, jokes aside, im not sure where im going or what im looking for that says THIS IS THE END. Maybe im not suppose to find an end. Maybe I am suppose to write this story until I figure out there doesn't have to be an end. Lately, I am enjoying the journey. Learning some things about myself, and about writing along the way.
To anyone who is out there who feels marginalized by yourself, if no one else. I am here to tell you, you can do this. If you want to. Find your passion. Find your story. Find your cheer squad, and just... let yourself be happy. Be happy you have two really good friends who are the backbone of your motivation with their quirky and playful comments. Be happy that you are telling a story that you feel madly passionate about. Be happy that you are on a beautiful journey, stop and look at the scenery, take in the flowers. Appreciate the cheer squad who isnt reading the story but is totally 1000% got your back!
I think this story is a lot about that. Finding happiness and then allowing ourself to be happy. Allowing myself to be happy.
I keep looking for the end, but lately i look for the flowers along this path i have carved, and feel the joy of sharing the journey with a small group of friends.
Thanks guys~
I just wanted to share.

Another 1 hr podcast of brain floss...
Do you think a fan can fall in love with an idol? Like being months and months, without looking to another boy, and feeling like real love?
this is a rather delicate question, love...
but since you are asking my opinion, i would have to say... there is a possibility that it can happen. however, i don't think i would call it love. especially 'love' between two persons. love between two persons is more of a mutual entity. does that make sense, love?
idolization, i've come to realize is more of an 'infatuation' type of love... and more of an 'admirative' type of existence.
i've also come to wonder myself, if these intense feeling spawn from the subconsciously known fact that these individuals are unattainable.
