Do any of you ever get those sudden childhood flashbacks out of nowhere?
I was just lazing around when I suddenly remembered a memory from years ago. It was summer 2013, and I was 10 when the Talking Angela – Chat with Me game became popular. There was a song in it called 'That’s Falling in Love', and I absolutely love it.
And being the overly creative kid I was, I decided to write a story about five friends and include that song in it. I also wanted to make a short video on that story. I desperately wanted to be the director, with my friends as the actors. Everyone was willing except for one kid who was such a Karen. She was basically the only reason I could never make the video. The others were ready, but according to my script, I needed five kids, and since I was supposed to be the director and cameraman, I couldn't be part of it.
I vaguely remember writing more stories after that too; tearing pages out of notebooks, gluing them together, and making my own little storybooks.
And that's when I realised something. Writing isn't something I started because I discovered Taekook or Wattpad stories. I've actually been writing since I was 10. I've always loved creating stories. I've always wanted to write, direct, and eventually turn those stories into something visual. And I think that's also why I naturally try to make my stories feel like movies when I write them. It's something I've wanted to do since I was a kid.
