This might sound weird but I have a high school alter ego of myself with a totally different name, different personality, different talents, even different place growing up, etc. I even started writing a story on wattpad about it for a little while, to make it feel more real. I think about it (not obsessively) to the point where I've started feeling light nostalgia for things I've never done, or even feeling a little sad her friends and family aren't real on my timeline. Sometimes when I feel bad or need motivation, I pretend to be her... relatable or not, idk, but it makes me feel nice
