"You'd want to keep me. I'd want to be kept. What a disaster that would be."
Use the above as a direct quote, or as an inspiration for your piece. Feel free to generate any kind of writing you choose, but know this: I probably won't choose poetry as the winner. I'm not a huge fan of the stuff.

Before you

Before you I was someone with a clear cut plan about what I wanted to do, what I wanted to achieve and how I wanted to go about achieving it. I believed in concepts like "kaizen", about constantly updating and improving oneself. 

But, once I met you  - in my unprepared, progress-in-the-making state, you still accepted me, and said that I was perfect! 

Oh dear, I know you like me just the way I am. That I don't need to change a thing.

With you I can stay this way forever. 

Being with you, I start to think that maybe I don't need to change, maybe this right now is alright, that I am enough the way I am. With you thus, I don't feel like challenging myself or critic myself to see where I can improve.

Dear, you would like to keep me, and I would like to stay with you, but what a disaster it would be for my dreams to take over the world?
