I'm so pathetic

5 months ago · 4 · Loneliness, +2

I created fake wonderful parents, fake supportive friends, fake former love interests, fake friendly banter siblings, and a fake husband and fake adopted kids.

Couldn't help it... just wanted to write a story where I died and got to be reborn in a better life situation. I even gave myself difficult powers and skills to attempt to master and a prophecy to fulfill.

Tl;dr: I made a Mary Sue of myself to cheer myself up about the awful reality I live in and I'm pathetic for it.

    I created an alternative scenario of my past and I've been living with that artificial reality for years.

    Hey, maybe we're gifted by creativity and that's something not many people have. I'm so proud that someone else sort of does this too. Good luck for us.

      I hope it does because I'm honestly running on empty and therapy hasn't helped me at all.
