Written in 2022:

I think this is the moment I began to earnestly enjoy D&D and role-playing again. It was something of a turning point for me, a big fucking deal, something to pour my creativity into and have fun with. D&D helped me shift my gaze from pleading with myself to just make things for some invisible audience that didn’t exist to just making things because I had fun with them. The character that I made and my best friend’s character are actually my pet interest still, in 2022. It still brings me absolute joy to interact with.
