My Story Idea
Sophie (college age) realizes that she is not happy with her life and feels left behind. Her friends tell her about all the cool things they do and feels that she is missing out. She decides to change her life to make it what she wants it to be OR she is suicidal and feels her life used to be good and never will be as great as it once was, so there is no point in living anymore. I'm not sure exactly which direction I will go, the suicide would be more dramatic, but I think it might be too dramatic...or too cliche. Anyway, Sohpie's friend Jasmine goes through a traumatic event while far from home and calls Sophie about it. Jasmine comes home and Sophie comforts her. Sophie is the only friend left at home and therefore the only one who can be there for Jasmine. This causes Sophie to realize that she does have a purpose and her life is not as bad as she thought. If she had not been home, no one would have been there for Jasmine.

Well I think it's a good idea. But I might be biased (I was thinking of a somewhat similar story line).
ReplyDeleteShe doesn't have to be suicidal to feel completely horrible. Maybe she's facing another decision aside from offing herself, like moving out of town, or transferring. Something to alter her identity as "the townie" (i'm assuming the college is in her hometown if she's still at home?), before realizing she's cool with this role.
