Before 2013~ I was never really emotive when it came to things like the news, movies or TV shows. Novels didn’t make me sad either, but I could feel excited about it. And then, after moving out of “home” and up to where I would be going to university, I was introduced to anime and manga more fervently than just my obsession with Sailor Moon in Year 10. Anime and manga made me a lot more emotive when it came to feeling various things whilst reading or watching something, and sometimes I even get overwhelmed by it. Now I watch a lot of K-Dramas, and though they can be really cheesy (and cringy) at times, they’re strangely addictive. I get excited, fired up, embarrassed and sad all at the same time. I’ve cried a lot in my life, but only twice when watching movies … or it may be thrice now that I do feel a lot more when I watch them … but I’ve never had to stop myself from crying so much when it comes to K-Drama. I don’t often cry, but I do tear up a lot. Something about the way they wreak havoc on my emotions gets to me. And sometimes it’s not even incredibly sad! Sometimes it’s even just too happy! I’m overjoyed! I don’t experience this very often in real life, but I do wonder if I can re-create it in my writing somehow.
