Admitting A Secret Habit

I only recently admitted to myself that I have this peculiar kink. Whenever things get too intense or overwhelming in my life, I find solace and a strange sense of control by role-playing as an 18+ year-old student who's being disciplined like she was back when she was just starting out in her education, you know, those moments where everything feels new and uncertain but also full of potential. It's not something I've shared with anyone else yet, and honestly, it feels both relieving and slightly terrifying to put this into words. No more avoiding it.
