The Best We Can Do.

It is commonly said that an artist creates a perfect world.

I would like to be a real writer for the same reason. I've always wanted to do something major and positive for the world, and I've recently realized that I can do that as a professional creator.

I raised myself. My parents never really had any input into my development in any significant personal ways, despite their presence. I instead became who I am today because of superheroes. I have constructed my own worldview, my own specific definitions of right, wrong, good, evil, and existence in general from my own difficult exploration through literature and other media. Every bit of goodness I have, all of my dreams, the entirety of my hope and strength come from video games, comic books, movies, and books. I literally owe the Legend of Zelda, Batman, and The Matrix my life.

That said, if we accept the hypothesis that as a writer, I create and tell the story of a perfect world, that means I can lift people's souls, and perhaps change them for the better in the same way so many blessed artists have changed me.

Keeping in mind that I could think of nothing better for myself than to write professionally, I am about to spoil every single story I would ever write for you, because this entry is not about my career. It is about my Utopia.

In my perfect world, things are just as shitty. The difference [if the real world is in fact so different] is that everything exists for everything else. We, as people, are here to make life easier for every other person. Bad things still happen, that's just the way it works. But people start to recognize that if we try to make life better for the suffering, we all end up happier, stronger, wiser, greater, and above all, holier than we were before.

Do whatever makes you feel like you deserve to exist, and honor your character, but don't make life harder for anyone else.

We can all be happy.

This is why I worship the hero archetype so fervently. The "superhero", to me, is any person that decides to use every part of themselves, both the good and the bad, to help the world. Everything you ever see me write will follow this theme. I have never believed anything as profoundly as I believe in this collectivist principle.

So I may have ruined the trip for you. But I can promise that anything I write will find some unique way to say this simple thing. Because this theme is universal, and it touches everything.

I hope I can embolden people with my work in the same way I have experienced.
