Im gonna write it.

I believe the idea that “all stories must have an intended moral/lesson/message” kills a lot of creativity.

Wanna write a story about someone fighting dragons? Do it.

Wanna write about a marine biology team facing the horrific through about what is in the deep sea? Do it.

Wanna write about a teenager slowly discovering the long dormant eldritch superpowers they posses from a distant ancestor & the hijinks that ensue? DO IT.

A moral or lesson is not necessary for a story to exist, planning out at least a rough beginning & end so you at least know where you’re going is only semi necessary for a story to exist, the want to make a story is the only thing truly necessary for a story to exist.

If I come up with a story that i think is cool & would be fun to write/make, im gonna do it! Oh, I dont have any moral or message that im trying to tell the world? Ok. I dont want to send a message to the world I wanna make a fun story (or a horrifying one). Sure, i may unintentionally create a story that emphasizes the belief that found family is just as important (if not more so) as blood family. If so- cool. was it intended? Not really.

From this point on i refuse to let my inner perfectionist squash any cool and/or fun stories that I come up with.
