Roleplay /ËroĘlËpleÉŞ/
When you roleplay, you act out the part of a character or person. You might want to roleplay an interview as part of your job search preparation or a high school student for a campaign of Kids On Brooms, a collaborative role-playing game.
The verb roleplay is most common in psychology and education when someone is undergoing therapy or participating in some sort of training. Itâs used to visualize and practice different ways of handling a situation.
Roleplay is also a hobbyâaka tabletop role-playing games. Itâs actually a hobby Iâve enjoyed for quite a while now, with the ultimate goal being to have fun. Iâm no actor, after all.
Aside from the fun, tabletop role-playing games have a myriad of benefits for almost anyone. Playing these games has allowed me to meet amazing people and the safe space to get outside my comfort zone without pushing myself too far. Did I mention the mental health boost? Yup, thereâs that too!
 You Can Do Anything, Magic Skeleton! by Chuck Wendig
âIn the tradition of inspirational pick-me-ups like Lin-Manuel Miranda and Johnny Sunâs G'Morning, G'Night but with a Calvin & Hobbesian sensibility comes this whimsically nerdy spin, illustrated by Natalie Metzger, on motivating folks into getting creative and "DOING THE THINGS.â (Goodreads)

⢠"Interesting, mysterious atmospheric tracks combined with plucky yet smooth guitar work is the way to describe this album with one sentence. Each track has its own identity." (AOTY)
Spotify brought me Kiltro, and so I feel obliged to do the same for you. According to Spotify, the band draws much of its thematic energy from Latin-American folk artists like Victor Jara and Atahualpa Yupanqui, making for an emotive, rhythmic, and unique merging of older genres with contemporary ones.
⢠"I felt rejuvenated and it truly changed my outlook on things. This show, as crazy as it sounded back then, made me realize that I wanted to be better and be more like Ted." (@MrEspiritu)
Ted is the main character of the series Ted Lasso. This show follows an American football coach who heads to the UK to manage a struggling London football team. Itâs honestly a refreshing and well-written show worth the watch.
"The Pathless tells the story of a skilled archer known as the last Hunter as she journeys across an isle on the edge of the world, a place where the realm of man and the realm of spirits intersect." (DualShockers)
This game is a masterpiece! Iâm not one to play games where suspense is key because I get super scared. But I just couldnât put my controller down. Scared and all! The story and the freedom to explore made this a wonderful 14-hour long adventure I wonât forget.

I wonât sugarcoat this. The past couple of weeks have not been easy to navigate. The world feels like itâs in constant turmoil.
I also wonât sugarcoat the fact that itâs okay not to be okay, itâs okay to feel hurt and confused by what happens in the world, and itâs okay to cry. Itâs also okay to heal and move onto the next feeling when itâs time.
After all, our humanity is what humbles us and sustains us. Youâre not alone in your feelings.
