subject: had a good first day at school!!


dear diary,

today was my first day at [redacted]. It was really fun!! I didn't expect it because of the slight language barrier but it was good, everyone was really nice to me. everything they teach is really easy as well lol I basically know all of it already. I'm happy that it didn't turn out so bad. I'm still sad about moving, I miss my old friends but I can still talk to them on facebook lol. I can't believe I'm in 5th grade already, it seems like just yesterday I was in the 1st grade with my hello kitty stationary set lol!! I am excited to see what this city holds for me! for the first time in a long time I'm excited :)))

anyway, that's it for me today, talk to you tomorrow!

hugs and kisses,
- danica.

subject: not doing so great


Hey. It's been a while, diary. I'd say 5 years is a bit of a while lmao. I read through that old entry. God, I'd do anything to just retreat back to myself from 2017. I sounded so hopeful. Summary - things didn't turn out the way I hoped, but being the naive girl I am I hope it will. I will continue holding on like I did, ever since the 1st grade. Things aren't looking too great but it is what it is. I'm in the 10th grade now, I'm 16. When I wrote that last entry I was 11. The way everything changed just months after that entry is astounding. Regardless, maybe I'll talk to you 5 years from now? If I make it that is. Just kidding (I'm not kidding)

regards,
