Thank you so much for checking out Undeclared. This story is inspired by the experiences of my friends and I coming to college and processing our own battles with mental health, career and social anxiety, and sexual boundaries.  With so much time to spare during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, I decided to stitch together a number of concepts that I found floating around in my head - imaginary friends, absurd scenarios, panic attacks - in an attempt to ask questions about the ways that we interact with one another.  Hope you like! - Timmy
