Cheering For Yourself, The Main Character

Have you ever looked up a recipe to create a good main character and all it says is to pour in a gallon of tears?

(ᵕ—ᗜ—)

Then you’ve found the right guide!
Nothing hits quite like crying your eyes out at 2 AM cheering for a protagonist that got utterly crushed by life, just to see them drag themselves back up and fight through the impossible.

But can I tell you something? .✦ ݁˖

It’s sad that we can’t cheer for ourselves the same way. When we go through pain, we immediately want to close the book and call it a bad chapter. You forget that the pain you’re feeling right now is exactly what a character development arc feels like.

If you would cheer for a main character fighting through their struggles… Then you should cheer for yourself too.
