THE POWER OF A GOOD STORY

Tunde had a habit of writing down every idea that popped into his head. Not because they made sense, but because they just... existed. His old notebooks were filled with wild concepts—talking trees, time-traveling bus conductors, and a story about a chicken that wanted to be a lawyer.
One day, while decluttering, he found one of those notebooks and burst into laughter. Some ideas looked ridiculous. Others were so vague that even he couldn’t figure out what he had been thinking. But just as he was about to toss it aside, a sentence caught his eye.
It wasn’t anything profound—just a small thought scribbled in the corner. But something about it sparked a new idea, and suddenly, everything clicked. A forgotten scribble turned into a concept, then a storyline, and eventually, into something he could actually work with.
That’s when it hit him: great stories don’t always start polished. They start messy, random, and even ridiculous. But hidden within those rough drafts are the seeds of something powerful.
And this isn’t just about writing. The best ideas in life don’t always arrive neatly packaged. Sometimes, they show up in fragments—thoughts we ignore, experiences we overlook, or things we once dismissed as unimportant.
So, if you ever feel stuck, revisit your "ridiculous" ideas. Look at them with fresh eyes. What seemed silly yesterday might be the key to something brilliant today.
