A piece of advice I’ve followed for a while is if you want to see what your characters are made of, you need to break them. Take things that make them question everything they know, the things that are important to them, break them and then make them build themselves back up again. This can be used for character development or just to see if your characters stand for anything at all. I’ve now reached a point in my life now where I’ve been broken, and it’s up to me to see how I build myself back up again. I can grow from this, I can see what I stand for, I can become better than I was. It’s up to me.
