I am a naturally positive person, so why does my mind always go to dark places when I try to write a story? I don’t mean ‘dark places’ in the aspect of self-doubt or insecurities, although I have those too. I mean that my mind greatly struggles to write happy stories. Whenever I try to write happy stories, they shift to negative ones pretty quickly without my awareness and then I have to adjust them. There is always trauma, mystery, and pain in my stories… I don’t try to do this intentionally, but it always seems to happen. I haven’t really even experienced substantial trauma in my life, so I do not know why I am like this. Oh well. At least the conflicts in the stories are resolved and the characters become stronger and are on the way to healing by the end of my stories.
