I do not like competitions and contests. I feel writing is an art, not a competition.

However, my psychologist recommended I enter this one. Yes, I show him a lot of my work, and he wanted to see what I'd posted on WDC, found this, and said just writing the essay would be cathartic. More than that, he said to enter it because then I would be making it public. There are reasons for that, but they don't really matter. That was this morning - I think this must have been under the "new contests" banner on the main page, which is why he saw it - and it is now 7:30 at night and I have spent 8 hours working on it.

This was difficult.
