Dear diary

When I pulled up to the college, it was so surreal, like I wasn't really here, but I was at the same time. I'm still not completely settled in.

It was hard to say goodbye to Samantha, but I kept reminding myself that I'll see her again, I hope I'm not lying to myself about that.

I met my roommate too. She's a really pretty girl, she's curvy, her chocolate locks pass down her back, and has beautiful, caring, hazel eyes (almost like mine) and a pretty smile.

Her name to be found out was Jesy, short for Jessica. I think we're going to be friends.

Class isn't until a couple days, so we can "settle in" as what the email I got said.

I haven't exactly got to walk around campus, but I can tell it's really pretty.

I should go now, it's getting late, and Jesy is already asleep, which I should be too, but I had to get something in.

I close the book, and set it on my bedside table, and turn off my lamp.
I envelope myself of the warmth of my blanket, and try to drift off into some sort of dream land, but find myself awake, thinking about something that's been bugging me lately: love.

My dream is to find love one day, to know someone loves me just as much as I do them.

I smile at the thought of finding that inner balance. It's a happy thought.

What if I never find it here?

I push those negative thoughts away, and drift off to sleep with those happy thoughts still in mind.
