Rainbows
By Altayzie
This is the story of a young man's journey towards happiness...

I. LiveWire: The story begins, introducing the main character as a cynically headstrong individual, co-dependently crusading through life with his select group of friends.

II. No Trust: After his friends abandon him, the protagonist develops an impenetrable emotional shell, severing ties with almost everyone in his life.

III. Disoriented Frequency: Realizing that his trust issues stem from within, the main character proceeds to soul search, and eventually finds himself when he begins writing.

IV. Traveler's Anthem: While developing his passion for writing, the protagonist experiences a sequence of reoccurring dreams, subconsciously persuading him to follow his heart towards genuine happiness.

V. Odyssey: Since deciding to pursue his dreams in the confines of reality, the main character faces off against the soul-crushing forces of modern society. Hoping to maintain his individualism, the protagonist uses all of his might to resist the evils of conformity.

VI. Serotonin: After losing the battle against conformed society, the protagonist develops an overpowering depression, and experiences extreme lows of defined purpose and self-esteem.

VII. Epiphany: The protagonist realizes that happiness can only be achieved through the means of self-fulfillment in life, and decides he must continue to share his voice with the world.

VIII. Rise Up: Feeling rejuvenated, the main character returns to pursue his craft, and wonders if others will be able to see the growth that he's made. At this point in the story, the protagonist truly grows to understand the power of listening, and allows his fellow dreamers to enhance his perspectives on life.

IV. Ozone: The main character proceeds to re-build his team of support, joining forces with fellow travelers seeking enlightenment, and encouraging others to ride with them as they preach words of positivity on their journey of knowledge and peace.

X. Happy: The journey concludes with the protagonist achieving peace within, and finally reaching the maximum levels of happiness that he once perceived to be impossible. The main character credits his newfound happiness to his friends and family that showed their support, and uses his lyrics to express his gratitude towards everyone that treated him with love and sincerity.

XI. Upon analyzing his journey, the protagonist discovers that happiness can be achieved most effectively by emphasizing the beauties of his voyage, and learns to view his life as a collective sequence of artfully documented stories. Essentially, each story represents a different color, and the combination of colors form together, making a magnificent painting (rainbow) used to symbolize his life story.

XII. Rainbows (Destiny): The protagonist’s masterpiece. Structured in the form of a wisely tale, the main character’s story is re-told from a refined perspective, using the love of his life as a metaphor for his own personal destiny. In this story, a young man falls in love with an amazing woman, named Destiny, who writes incredible songs for him to perform to the world. After touring the world, maintaining happiness, and achieving every goal they set forth upon, the story concludes with a shocking revelation…

*Destiny never actually existed, and was really a manifestation of the true talents that he had within himself all along.*
