One line that starts and ends your story but it's meaning changes

I really wanted to do this! It won’t work with my current novel but a future story I definitely want to do this. Do you have an works with that?

Nope but I've seen this on YouTube and stuff and it always is really cool- normally one has a happy meaning and another a really sad one and you're just broken lol

start: i've always wanted to be seen on tv! To be famous, and have paparazzi follow me everywhere seems so glamorous.

end: i've always wanted to be seen on tv. To be famous, and have paparazzi follow me everywhere seemed so glamorous. I just never thought I'd be on the air as America's most wanted criminal. But that's what I yearned for right?- to be wanted?

Wow- that is wonderful- I love it, especially the play of words on 'wanted'!

if it is meant to be it will be - my book revolves around this actually.

start - he doesn't believe in destiny.

end - how his perspective changes, how he comes to believe it.

That's a great message!

'They left me there, defeated and broken...'

At the start, this could be an enemy, after some fight or something.
At the end, what if it was someone's death that left them that way.

Aww thank you
Very depressing though

*shrugs* it could get worse besides isn't a little depressing what you like to read lol

Lol
I loathe depressing stuff
*Thinks*
Actually, so long as there is a happy ending, I don't mind
You know me better than I know myself 🤣

well you were talking about how OUaBH was "good and painful" but yes as long as it has a happy ending then the pain was worth it

LOL
Nice line

What if I didn’t change anything?

The beginning is like the character is hoping to be remembered for a huge thing, a change of some kind and to be famous.

The end is when they look back and think that maybe they made things worse for some people and better for others, which meant it wasn’t really all that different (or it could be something else that they feel they haven’t changed).

Emm...
"I knew that death would arrive soon."
start-the main character's mother was dying and the character knew that death would soon claim her mother. So she went to seek for a cure.
end-she couldn't find the cure but after her journey, she made death her slave in some way by summoning it?
Is this ok?
