Writing Excuses

NOTE

Navigating the Fragile Journey of Self-Discovery

Chronic illness serves as a metaphorical backdrop for exploring personal vulnerability and societal threats. The character Audie's journey is marked by stages encapsulated in the acronym DREAM: denial, resistance, exploration, acceptance, and manifestation. Initially, Audie embodies denial by insisting on independence despite needing help.

This resistance allows her to begin exploring what life might look like with another person involved, signifying her gradual openness to connection and collaboration in her journey.
