OOC is serious business (NOT ANOTHER TV TROPES REFERENCE! @.@)

Back in 2013 (yes, its a short trip..but I don't care) I used to do Kpop roleplay in Tumblr thanks to the prodding of my friends, sheer curiosity and the fact that I can't really do all these things once I get involved in work. One of the terms that I had to learn was OOC which meant breaking out of your character and posting as yourself.

(Ex. I roleplay as Kirby (the cute pink puffball), and if I feel like venting. I'll ditch the Kirby persona and post things as my mun)

Being the nooblet that I was, I made a lot of OOC posts until my "RP teacher" kinda reminded me that my blog was about the character and not myself. And most RP directories (if I joined one) limit OOC posts or are strictly forbidden. Its just a shame that I can't switch from my RP blog to my personal since I tend to vent when needed (if I'm not in the mood for monologues). 

As I continued on with RP-ing, the less that I had to post OOC posts or make references to the mun/typist/myself unless one of my IRL RP friends brings it up or something.

Now if you're wondering why I mentioned about being OOC. Its because a friend of mine told me that I changed...for the better (like being less moody/dependent/obsessed) and I think that she was right. But I kinda noticed that before she talked to me, because no one knows you better than yourself. 

I have written another blog post about this (its in the private one, for those wondering) and it was a letter directed to my high school self. Back then, I was pretty much the "genki/positive girl" in the group. Its because I am very cheerful, kind, loving and affectionate towards my friends-to the point where I would gladly beat up myself while showering my friends with so much love. (Or, I became obsessed with a friend and neglected the others..wow..)

Now in college, I was still the genki/energetic/positive hyper girl but I learned to be less reliant on them to be my source of happiness. I mean, my friends do make me happy..but its not like they can control or determine what I would feel for the day. 

I guess my friend does have a point there.

It's okay to seek help

  (mild trigger warning: suicide) Wazzup blog-verse! It's been a while since I posted here, and it makes sense as I had just hit rock bottom after my last post. I guess it's time for me to blog once again considering that it's September and that's three months until 2023 ends.  If you're wondering what happened to me, well I hit rock bottom-bottom last June. My boss noticed that my symptoms were getting out of hand and requested me to seek help, because of this and the pain that I wanted to kill myself. In a glimmer of hope, I decided to make a decision and that was to seek another psychiatrist for June 24. After declining an invite to attend the birthday celebration of my colleague's son, I decided to stop being lazy and push thru with the session. After an hour, I felt like a new sense of hope came to me. This new doctor was caring, kind and understanding, they also gave me new prescription for medication since the previous medications I took had turned me int...

Renovation

Good news, this blog is about to get a revamp just because I feel like it (please don't judge) so all my posts will have appropriate labels for quicker access both on your end and mine. I may also change the layout, but yes let's just take things one step at a time.
