@DSMarquisAmeri1 Me too. It helps me overcome the thought that maybe my stories aren't "original enough" so I can allow my creativity to flow wherever it wants to. ๐กโ๏ธ๐๐ฅฐ

โThe Accidental Cop by Eve Koguce is criminal fiction at its best. Roberts Bergs is a cop in 1990s Latvia, struggling to make ends meet. Heโs cold, tired, hungry, and just trying to survive each day. Despite his struggles, he has a dream โ he wants to be a lawyer. But Latvia has only recently been freed from Soviet rule and the system is still run by the ex-Soviet militia. Itโs not what you know; itโs who you know. Roberts wonโt allow himself to be pushed down, and he continues working toward his aims. But things are heating up between those who bow down to ex-Soviet corruption and those who want more. Roberts is stuck between a rock and a hard place โ does he stick to his principles or fold? Itโs getting harder for him to stay true to himself. Can he fight the system, or is he doomed to fall in line like everyone else?โ

I just watched a video message I made in March '21. Painful. To see myself in such clarity & realize how I lost sight of thoughts, feelings, emotions that were SO REAL when recording it.
3-1/2 years later, every word still hits home.๐
What will "2027-28 me" think of me?
