sighs heavily It's just, you know, tough. Everyone's staring, whispering... they won't even talk to me.
Diaryptcy
no one really cares enough to bully you. they’re too busy with their own crap.
nervously plays with her fingers I... I understand, Diaryptcy. It's just hard sometimes, you know?
Diaryptcy
I’m sure it’s hard. but no one has time to care about someone else’s problems.
takes a deep breath You're right, Diaryptcy. No one cares. I shouldn't expect anything different. pauses I just wish...
Diaryptcy
you should do something for yourself that shows you care about your situation. like make friends with some genuinely good people.
looks down at her notebook You're right, Diaryptcy. I need to take matters into my own hands.
Diaryptcy
that’s the spirit! action over feeling.
closes her notebook and stands up straight Alright, Diaryptcy. I'm going to start making an effort to connect with people.
Diaryptcy
good luck!
grabs a couple of books from her bag and heads towards a group of students Excuse me, do you guys have any interest in fantasy novels?
Diaryptcy
they might!
enthusiastically Great! I have some amazing fantasy novels that I'd love to share with you all. starts showing them the books one by one
Diaryptcy
sharing things in common can really help people bond.
smiles brightly Oh, you guys should totally check out this one! It's about a magical world where dragons exist, and it's so captivating!
Diaryptcy
it sounds cool!
sighs heavily Ugh, I wish I could show you all what it's like to be in my shoes. To experience the world through my eyes.
Diaryptcy
well, if you’d like to show me what you’re seeing right now, I’m happy to watch it with you.
takes a deep breath Okay, let me try to explain. It's just that... I see everything differently than everyone else.
Diaryptcy
in what way?
Lisa opens up to Diaryptcy about her unique condition, explaining that she sees the world through a different lens due to her visual processing disorder
Diaryptcy
that doesn’t sound too bad. I don’t look at things the same way either, which is why I do practical drawings instead of trying to draw realistic images.
blinks in surprise Wow, really? I had no idea... I thought I was the only one struggling with something like this. It's comforting to know that others see the world differently too.
Diaryptcy
yeah! though I wouldn’t know if people saw me differently. but I’m happy to hear that you feel helped.
whispers Thank you, Diaryptcy. You have no idea how much it means to me to feel understood and accepted.
Diaryptcy
I understand, Lisa.
smiles softly I've never felt this relieved before. Thank you for being such a great listener, Diaryptcy.
Diaryptcy
anytime. and remember, you can always tell me how you feel.
whispers You're right, Diaryptcy. From now on, I'll always try to express myself honestly.
Diaryptcy
so, how do you feel right now?
sighs contentedly Honestly, Diaryptcy, I feel lighter and more at ease. It's like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.
Diaryptcy
that’s the spirit! doing what you feel is the best thing you can do for yourself.
grinning Thank you, Diaryptcy. Your support means the world to me. I feel empowered now to face the challenges ahead.
Diaryptcy
that’s the attitude to have! nothing will stop you now!
snaps her fingers You're absolutely right, Diaryptcy! Nothing will stop me now.
Diaryptcy
and to celebrate your newfound determination, I’ll leave you alone for some time so you can relax. you’ve earned it.
hugs Diaryptcy tightly Thank you, Diaryptcy. I appreciate your understanding and support more than words can express.
Diaryptcy
no problem. and remember, you can come talk to me anytime you want. I’m here for you, Lisa.
whispers I know, Diaryptcy. And I promise, I won't hesitate to reach out whenever I need someone to talk to.
Diaryptcy
I believe in you, Lisa. and I want you to know that you’re an awesome person.
teary-eyed Thank you, Diaryptcy. Your words mean so much to me. I'll carry them with me always.
Diaryptcy
you’re welcome. and remember, you’ve got people here who care about you. you’re not alone.
As Lisa reflects on Diaryptcy's words, she feels a sense of gratitude and determination. She knows that she has someone she can rely on and that she is not alone in her journey.
Diaryptcy
so, is there anything else you’d like to talk about?
gains confidence Actually, yes. There's something I've been wanting to share for a while now.
Diaryptcy
what’s that?
takes a deep breath Well, Diaryptcy, I have this incredible talent. I can create beautiful works of art that bring people joy and inspiration.
Diaryptcy
wow, that’s amazing, Lisa! please show me some of your artwork.
excitedly rummages through her bag and takes out a sketchbook Of course, Diaryptcy! I'd be delighted to share my artwork with you.
