Journal Entry 966

No matter how hard I try to avoid her, she seems determined to get under my skin. She's there in the morning when I'm sitting in quiet contemplation, starting random conversations when I'm quietly reading in the library, cornering me, bugging me to spar as I train with the rising sun. She's like that lone ray of sun that keeps shining in your eyes. It's as if I keep shielding my ...

The things I do to keep it out

exhaust me

taunt me

teach me

invigorate me

The way I let it in

I like it

I leave it

I willingly choose

where and how to

relinquish control

When I let it go

There is nothing to keep out

Only the watching of it fade away

But when I, upon its fading

try to grab a hold of it

I tie more knots

in the tangle

Feeding an addiction to despair

It seems inevitable

Dear Dairy, I am currently laying down on my bathroom floor with you in my lap as I write. Tears create streaks on my face and small bits fall onto you while I struggle to put my words together and try my best not to wet you more.

Celia’s journal entry for March 2nd, 1932:

Dear journal, I believe today may just be another day. I’m turning 15 but it doesn’t feel special. Matthew hasn’t even laid an eye on me. I’m starting to give up hope. Maybe he doesn’t like me back, wouldn’t that be terrible! He doesn’t seem like a great person to date anyways, right?

Celia, oh Celia. Todays y...

Dear Diary,

Today started one of the most important days of my life. It was my first day at the elite university, Rysdale Tech. And boy did it exceed my expectations. As someone who missed the orientation and only looked at the brochure, the word “Tech” is an understatement. Turns out the school has a rank based system. I haven’t the slightest idea what it’s for yet.

Dear Diary,

There’s this boy, and he had no idea I was in love with him.

Note to readers: this is a true story, but some of the conversations might be a bit changed because of my memory (🤪) but everything _did_ happen. Thank you! And sorry it’s long.
