Your recent posts have been absurdly salient to where I'm at right now. Regardless of whether this continues or diverges, please keep going!

On the topic of this post, I would love to know if you can point to any sources on other story structures beyond the hero's journey. Particularly any connected to early adulthood, by these definitions. I was trying to find material on alternative structures a few months ago, but most of what I could find was thinly disguised versions of the hero's journey.

I’m glad it’s resonating lately! There’s been a lot that wants to be said.

I have a lot to say about other story structures, but a lot of it is half-formed and long-winded. Short version is: 1) there are some Jungians who discuss stuff in this area, it’s worth trawling Amazon for titles that sound interesting in that direction, and 2) I’m still gestating some ideas in the area of this thread: https://x.com/the_wilderless/status/1648390849686806541?s=46&t=vsYWBH7IxHnPLOR5zAZ1ow
