I think that's a good interpretation! Although I didn't really have a metaphor in mind when I wrote it
Yay thanks!
I didn’t really have a metaphor in mind when I wrote it
In my opinion, there’s almost always a purpose or something you want to tell the world, and it’s sad when that message doesn’t reach your audience, don’t you think?. The thing is, if you write a story without a metaphor or a meaning in mind, then your story can mean just about anything. You’d be impressed by how many ways a reader can interpret a story! And misinterpretation is risky, so is worth spending a bit of time on that. That’s my advice. ^^
I think that if the story makes you project a meaning onto it, then it was a successful story! And any meaning you put on it is constrained by the events of the story itself. So the interpretations you get to are actually guided by the plot and characters combined with your personal experience. And since everyone's experience is different, there will be different emotional reactions and ways to see the story.
When I wrote this I only had an emotion to guide me through it, and that was what I wanted to come through
