Hi everyone!
I am C! I want to share something deeply personal with you—a project that reflects my jour... ney to understand myself. I’m a huge fan of Dungeons & Dragons, and during one of the toughest times in my life, I found solace in an RPG game, Baldur’s Gate 3. But this journey isn't just about playing a game; it’s about using it as a tool for self-reflection.
What if a video game could help us?
What if it could lead us to understand ourselves better?
I’m not saying this is a quick fix or a substitute for real therapy, but it has become my way of exploring the parts of myself that feel hard to reach in everyday life. We often shape who we are through interactions with others, but what happens when you're alone? Can engaging in social interactions with imaginary characters who feel real help you understand yourself better? Can they act as a mirror for people like me who currently don't have that reflective tool, and have always experienced distorted reflections throughout life?
One important thing about me is that I have aphantasia—I can't conjure mental images. I can't "see" anything in my mind, so when I close my eyes, there's no escape into an imagined world. That’s why I'm using comics to visualise this journey.
So here it is, my comic fan fiction—a journey that began in a video game but is really about self-discovery. I hope you’ll join me and maybe even find some inspiration to start your own journey of reflection.
