I've been writing a story for a contest the past week, an exercise that I felt would be more authentic if I dug deep inside myself for introspection, to find motivation of characters based on some of my own experiences. Unfortunately for me, the process put me on massive tilt.

A tip for you kids, if you're going to look inside yourself for answers, try not to do it via sticking your head up your ass.
