A story I am yet to post on tapas, ( maybe weāll get there one day. Iām working on it) but the main character, Felix, has everything he wants, but this conflicts with what he really needs. Itās not until he loses his wants that heās able to discover happiness. He struggles with self-hate, because heās aware of his flaws, but doesnāt want to actually deal with them, or be strong enough to resist hurting others. Heās tortured with perpetual misery, because he believes heās doomed and that thereās nothing he can do about it, so why bother trying to be better?
Of course, this is something he works through eventually. Kinda the main core of the plot.
