The thing is though, being like her IS being as I originally was. So "being myself" wouldn't make any sense cause I'm already now being my actual myself. I'd have to change how I actually am to not be similar lol... I don't learn any other way, I've pretty much always been alone aside from my girlfriend and I don't relate to people in real life. It's actually shocking for other people to say they relate to Mio because it makes me realize that there MAY be people like me out there..they're just far away unlike the people around me irl I can't relate to at all. Maybe it doesn't work for others, but if we can relate to celebrities or movie characters or even animals in stories then I see no problem with me having learned and understood myself better this way. And the entire goal of a writer is to create characters that CAN be relateable. It's the mark of a good writer.

I mean the alternative is I just might not have existed anymore if my life kept going the way it bad been, so I'd say it's a BIG positive lol... would I have prefered a more normal approach? Well..yeah...but my life hasn't been normal and neither am I. All that matters is how someone learns to love themselves.
