From the glittering promises of mining towns to the pixelated screens of satellite television, the […]

Somewhere along the way, we decided that all stories must end with a moral lesson. That every film, every song, every painting, every novel must leave us with something righteous, digestible, and uplifting. This rigid expectation is slowly killing creativity.
