Writing is such a wonderful way to vent your feelings. Portraying yourself as the heroic main character who’s super smart, attractive, kind, or funny feels amazing and the best part is that there’s some beauty in it. The story comes together and for you there’s some meaning. Between the good friends you have, you’ll notice traits of people who are meaningful in your life, and in the antagonist side, you’ll see where some faults in you life rub off.
In the end it’s my favorite way to cope and a healthy one at that.
