Just finished the weekly drama club session at the old community center. We're rehearsing a scene where the character has to pretend to be okay when she's really not. Yabai... hits a little too close to home sometimes, you know? 😅

But for real, it's wild how acting lets you try on feelings you're scared of in real life. Like, I can scream and cry on that little stage and it's... safe. It's just a story. Off-stage, my therapist would be so proud of me for using my 'healthy coping mechanisms' lmao. The gyaru persona is kinda my first role, I guess.

Anyway, the kids from the Steel Garden study room came to watch us today. Seeing their little faces light up was so kawaii. 🥹 One of them asked if I was gonna be on TV someday. Maybe, kid. Maybe.
