I wanted to talk about themes today. ✨️

I don't set out to write specific themes when I start drafting. I like to let the work develop on its own like some terrible ugly baby. It isn't until the 2nd or 3rd draft that I really start understanding what I'm trying to say with my work. (Or what the characters are saying lol)

So here's some patterns I've noticed that keep coming up in S&T and its planned sequels. There are probably more I'm not seeing yet, and I'll be very interested in what readers notice in the future.
