After years of thinking about love, separation, and repetition, I find myself working on a story that doesn’t move forward in a straight line — it moves across lifetimes.
The same love appears again and again, followed by separation, regret, and choice. Each time the characters believe they can change the outcome, and each time they discover how difficult it is to escape patterns created by their own decisions.
What interests me most is not whether the lovers unite — but whether awareness itself can change destiny.
Sometimes I wonder:
Is a story like this a creative risk that leads to growth…
or the kind of idea that quietly fails because it refuses easy answers?
As storytellers, how do you personally judge whether a project will become a breakthrough or a lesson?

Happy New Year, Nasir Lone! Unique concept! I write to entertain, but I also add a theme and things that could be lessons to the readers and audience.

Thank you, Maurice Vaughan . What I’m exploring here isn’t repetition as a plot device, but as an emotional pattern — how the same choices can feel like destiny when we don’t see them clearly. The story isn’t trying to answer whether the lovers reunite, but whether awareness itself can interrupt a cycle we keep recreating. I’m aiming to let the entertainment lead, and allow any lesson to emerge only after the experience settles

What resonates with me is that the story isn’t chasing resolution, but awareness.
Sometimes a project succeeds not by changing fate but by revealing why we keep repeating it.

Based on the concept and the world.

That means a great deal to hear—thank you, Hermina Orcsik . You articulated something I’ve been circling around: the idea that awareness itself can be the resolution. I’m drawn to stories where the shift is internal rather than external, where nothing “wins” but something is finally seen clearly. Those moments tend to stay with me longer than neat endings.

Thank you, Meriem Bouziani . I’m glad the world itself came through for you. I’ve tried to let the concept shape the environment rather than explain it—so the repetition, the atmosphere, and the emotional echoes do as much storytelling as the plot.

Nasir Lone I completely agree. I believe real change begins within a character’s inner world, and only then becomes visible on the outside.
When that inner shift is felt, it naturally reaches the audience as well—and in some cases, even inspires them.
