I typed up about 10 minutes today. I’m trying to work out and type out the end of the flashback scene with Poe & Jack, in the best way possible. Realistic emotionally and feeling wise, and yet I feel like it needs a bit more. A better way to word the sentence about Valerie being Jack’s home, and going there. (Maybe that’s it right there! 🙂 )
I want to convey Jack’s wrong, but yet, that he isn’t the sin, that it’s a counterfeit, covering up the pain and trauma. He never set out to do what he did, but he allowed himself to be easily and negatively influenced, and it masked pain and hurt. And once he saw it did, it made it easier to keep forgetting.
He chose an extreme way to do it, but I think many of choose ways to mask and stuff our pain, in different ways. But most of them hurtful to us, and just make things worse in the long way. I know the ways I stuffed my hurt and pain were.
I love you all, don’t give up. Every moment is sacred and worth living; worth fighting for. There is light at the end of the tunnel! <3
