Today was Jumpstart at East High School. This summer my handwriting has completely disappeared so now I am writing like a chicken.
Anyways we drove into town today and I got my picture taken for school. I hope it isn’t horrible. I’m starting to get kind of nerrrrrvous for high school!
Oh! I’ve been so busy that I forgot to tell you that I tried smoking marijuana… OMG! It was really really different and FUN! I will definitely do it again. It was me, Noah, Dee, Parker and Emily! It was so fun!
Note to future self: DON’T let pot take over your life! It’s a bad idea. Please don’t! This is your better judgement speaking! Just don’t!

Over the coming months, I'll be publishing several journal entries a day in chronological order. I began journaling in 2007, when I was eleven years old. Even then I wrote as though I were archiving my life, collecting details about my world. As I grew older, journaling became more of a description of my emotional world.
I am an aspiring creative nonfiction writer who is producing very little since graduating college this Spring. But with this unusually thorough account of my entire adolescence, I feel as though I have been given a gift that has been under my nose this whole time.
This is a practice in forgiveness and vulnerability. It is also a way to laugh at myself.
