Happy endings don't matter, it's the journey and the hardships that led to it that do.

The story doesn't have to start with something big. It can start from the smallest of things, something that seems so inadequate at the time that it can be regarded as completely unimportant.

That’s how Kai’s story began, from something completely stupid, something that didn’t even have to happen but did anyways because of a reckless choice.

But in the bigger picture, it’s what changed his life. It's the small thing that made the big difference, that got his story going.

Happy endings don't matter. The story that led to it, that reveals the journey, and that contains experiences that help the character become stronger are what makes it a story to tell.
