All of my stories are sad, you will get used to it LOL. If my writing is not evoking strong emotion, then I don't want to do it! Also, I would hardly say a coconut is a materialistic item used to conjure a feeling for love. The coconut is supposed to personify the feeling of obligation as a parent that doesn't really want a child. This is illustrating how parents do the bare minimum at times, and are completely fine with it.
My characters in my stories never deserve more credit, it's OK to be mad at them. It's OK to be mad at me for painting the world so negatively. As long as you feel something, I feel fulfilled. Thank you for your generous comment!
I am stopping by your profile next to see your creation and art! Have a splendid day
