Tagging: Maryjo Bautista | Pablo Pereyra | K.S. | Isaac | Raffaella Ferretti for today’s writing challenge: Witch.

Lucy (The Eggcademic) wrote this haiku with inspiration from Moon-Young from It’s Okay to Not Be Okay, a kdrama that unfolds the story of someone with anti-social personality disorder (much stigmatized!) who becomes a fairytale writer. She’s cautious about looking too much into this character right now without knowing how the kdrama writers ended this story up, but there are powerful messages here about the stigma of mental illnesses, particularly of personality disorders.
