And these two words were enough to make me think very deeply. "DESCRIBE YOURSELF" was written in a simple font.

And that quick sentence made my mind run. "PRETENTIOUS," I wrote without much thinking. "NOT ENOUGH WORDS. WRITE WITHIN 5 TO 100 WORDS" came back the reply.

For what if the original me Doesn't please other people.
