Well, for a few weeks there I was doing really well. My daydreaming had gone down from 6 hours per day to 15 minutes (on the walk home from school), if at all. Then I was faced with the possibility of changing schools, something I've wanted to do since I started there in year 8. I'm now in year 11, at a critical point in my education. I know that I'm going to be the odd one out if I do change, and so my MD mind immediately created a character that represented this. It happens every time I'm faced with a big decision, or big news. No character building necessary, I'm just given this perfectly fleshed out character.
This new character is albino (aka the odd one out, the black sheep). He has been through a lot and has been judged by almost everyone he meets, which is an exaggerated version of what I'm going through now. Then comes the idealised part of my new character. Whereas I would conform to be the person everyone likes, this character does anything he wants and doesn't care what anyone thinks of him. Now I'm daydreaming 6 hours a day again.
*Sigh* back to square one...
