Daniel gets his puppy today! I’m so excited to meet her. She’s an english cream retriever, and her name is Ruby.
I wish I could just spend every day with Daniel. I feel like I’m wasting important time when I’m not with him. Why does everything beautiful have to end? I wish it wouldn’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.
