--- - **Song:** "Iris" by the Goo Goo Dolls (1998)   - **Focus:** Write a 200-word story that explores the desire for genuine connection and the vulnerability of opening oneself to another person. Capture the song's themes of longing, acceptance, and the fear of being truly seen. - **Suggestion:** The story should focus on a moment of emotional exposure or the anticipation of such a moment. The character might be reflecting on a past connection or facing a potential new one.
