Introspection: a series-- round four

Welcome to round 4! If you have not already, please read the round 3 results column for the latest contest update. This round is straight forward, but I ask that, as you sit down to write, take time to truly reflect on this week's prompt before you begin writing, and what you create will be more meaningful and expressive.
