DEFINE: ME

For this story I decided to write about a girl who is at a spelling bee, but she keeps internalizing every word she gets.

This is another one from Creative Writing class. The prompt was to write a story that focuses mainly on character development. This concept is actually very relatable to me because even to this day I still have a habit of internalizing passing speech. I would frequently question moments in my life and interpret them as fate. "Why am I the one who got this?" "Is this secretly saying something about me...? maybe it is... I could see how it is...".

Ultimately, I think it's important that we learn to define ourselves, and not to completely give in to the past or our circumstances.
