Recently, I got into Amazon Prime. And the first thing I watched? something that was in my watch list for a long time, the Vampire Diaries. I just watched the first episode and this is how I felt.
The first episode showed a 17 year old Elena, who goes to school after her summer break. Things haven't been going well for her; her parents had died 4 months ago. Her younger brother, Jeremy, is very depressed and is eventually guided into the wrong path. They live with their aunt. And on her first day, she meets with a vampire named Stefan, who had come to the town recently. And, like any other story, there's some usual high school stuff going on. There had also been reported mysterious animal attacks in the town. This is later revealed that these are caused by Stefan's brother Damon, to whom he hadn't talked in 15 years. Both of them have come to the town for one specific reason, which I don't know!
The most positive thing I noticed was that both of the leading characters write diaries. In the stories which I've read or seen so far, no main character has written journals. Sometimes, the sentences they use are so beautiful that they motivate the viewers to write journals too. (it did to me) One specific line was "Memories are too important to lose." This line kind of triggered me to resume my diary, which I had stopped writing a few months back. (I start every January, but stop maximum by march.) It's been three days, and now it's the fourth, and I'm still updating it.
