Support or Denial
This story isn't about who stood beside you.
It's about the invisible line—between the people who lifted you, and those who left you behind.
It's not about blaming others. It's about showing how silence, denial, or belief became turning points in your story.
đŸ’¡ Start where it hurt—or healed—most:
- Who surprised you by showing up when you were lowest?
- Who did you expect to be there but vanished?
- When did someone believe in you more than you believed in yourself?
- When did someone laugh at your dream, and what did that moment create in you?
đŸ’¡ Best formats:
Monologue with cinematic flashbacks / Split-screen memory vs. reality / "Letters I never sent" narration
Structure it as: Expectations /What actually happened /What it taught me/ Who I became
đŸ’¡ Emotional contrasts to use:
- "They said they had my back vs. "But here's what really happened."
- "She believed in me when I didn't believe in myself."
- "He said, 'That's a stupid idea.' I kept going anyway."
