We made it..


For the last 7 months since Timo's recovery, we have been still working on the story that we want to bring to the world. I have never imagined how hard it is to make a story! The company and instant mindset that have wrecked me put its toll on Timo. We quarrelled a lot for our different opinions, i became impatient for the way he develops the story, the pressure we got from our own family suppress us so much - this made the development even slower and even more difficult. 
People have told us and pushed us to create a story that fulfills the market demands, that is, something that sells. So we tried. And as we tried, the more we got into fights and at one point we just couldnt work it out anymore. We thought about ending this partnership, we decided to stop communicating for some time because talking about the story became too much painful and difficult. The strain between us has tightened up to the point of ripping apart.. And so we split away..
.
Finally i told Timo that what makes this process impossible is because we have something that's been pressing our heart to tell this one thing, but what we've been doing is creating a story that's not relevant to us at all. And so we started all over again. Throughout the process, still, my stubborness and impatience, the pressure from family got even more hurtful, we got into depression again, faithless at times, but we persevered, by grace. I learn a lot from Timo, he awakens the principles and determination that i had once, we get better in our communication and grow so much together - in faith in our God, in love, in understanding each other's mind, in the vision of our work. This is the 8th story (should be more but i cant recall the rest at the moment), that went through 6 alterations. This is our story, but mostly, Timo's personal story, his heart & soul, his cries & questions. And finally.. We've reached our first steppingstone.. PS : we cannot share the story yet because it is still in development stage, but we will and cannot wait to share it with the world !!
