Uncategorized 1 Minute

Parker’s cabin was fun.

My middle name is Alice. I have a twin sized bed. I’m listening to the Rain Song by Led Zeppelin. I ate soup. It’s nice outside for the nighttime. I talked to my mom on the phone last. I notice hair first. Japanese food is my favorite. I don’t want children. I don’t drink now but I will. Blonde. Green eyes. No glasses. I dislike holidays. I like summer. I cry over girls and boys. I’m reading Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut. Football is dumb. I have a dog named Lily. I like roses and lilacs. I’ve loved a lot. I don’t want to see anyone right now. I’ve shot a gun or two. I like airplanes. Right handed. I don’t miss anyone. No tattoos. Yes I hide things. I’m not 18. I write in my diary before bed. Sometimes I wonder how I will stay strong. One moment gone, only twenty more days.

Born in 1996 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.
