My obsession with gunpla started when my uncle bought me an old Victory Gundam model when I was a kid.

And as a kid, instead of playing with tons of dolls at home, this thing is much more interesting.
Building this thing is kinda like playing with lego but much more fragile.
And as a energetic young (not so girly) kid delicate is not my strong point...
I broke it, and keep the broken Victory Gundam in my toy shelves.

In some point of my life, I have become extremely reserved.
It's hard to meet and talk to people in real life.
I don't really care about anything that much.
To sum it all, I became a NEET, not doing anything at all

I was depressed and bored.
Then I just started to look around and found the old Victory.
Started to watch the gundam series, getting addicted to Gunpla.
The depression is still there, but I feel a bit lighter than before. I feel like I don't have to deal with people while building this.
Not a very good way to fight depression but it was a start.

Gundam series can be a bit inspiring sometime, with some message about hope and tomorrow.
Kira inspiring speech during the end of Seed Destiny or how Setsuna constantly yelling about the future.

So... Like any other MC in the gundam universe, I went to the hospital to get some help.
It was a bit pressuring, admitting that you made some bad and harmful things to yourself while depressed.
So...Having a hobby that requires focus and time, really helps not think about things that depress me.

Then I got into reading, stumble in NU website, and started talking to alot of people here.

Getting your life back together is really a hard thing, but I have never expected that an old Gunpla model is the one that gave me the first push.

Sometimes I still play with them like any other kids would.like....
