Seneca, a playwright who understood the complexities of the human experience, knew that acknowledging flaws is essential. Seneca recognized his own failings—hypocrisy, complicity in a corrupt regime, and the compromises that came with wealth. Yet, he also grasped a vital truth:

… audiences forgive imperfections when a character finds a way to redeem themselves.

In his letters to Lucilius, Seneca famously stated, “Life is like a play; just give it a good ending.” This perspective inspires a commitment to crafting narratives filled with purpose. Mistakes and struggles aren’t merely setbacks; they can serve as stepping stones toward growth and transformation.

As maturity unfolds, (for me, gradually), creativity thrives in vulnerability. Each challenge offers an opportunity to rise stronger, reshaping the narrative with intention. The focus shifts from past missteps to a hopeful future, emphasizing the power of redemption and the potential for change.  Just as Seneca believed in the possibility of a good ending, there’s a shared determination to pen stories rich with hope and resilience.​
