That in-between time after college but before your life really gets going...Boy, I still, so very easily, can remember how nerve wracking it was. How many questions I had. How confused I was. You really captured just what 'life' is at that moment
.
I grew up in a small town, too...kinda Smallville-ish. So relatable how Clark just
knew, deep down, that his place wasn't there anymore. That desire to 'get out'--it's overwhelming at that age. I had my heart set on Chicago...and I ended up about as far from there as possible
. In a bigger city (way bigger than where I grew up) but only about an hour away from home. But now, with hindsight--and a lot of growing up--I found exactly deep in my heart what I had always wanted. Everything worked out perfectly. Back then...back as college was ending, I don't think I would have ever been able to guess the path that would take me here.
Clark's quest...to get out of that small-town life, go to a big city, work his dream job, meet someone...finally, really, feel like he fits in. It's what drew me into the show as a teen. It's what I related to. It's, at the time, exactly what I was wanting to achieve. You've done a spectacular job of diving into that. Showcasing Clark's journey. Revealing his doubts.
You've created a great foundation for Clark to set foot into the world
.
Awesome!
