So my mom got me this journal for my birthday. She said it’ll be a safe place for me to put my thoughts since I don’t talk anymore.  “And when you get older, you can look back and see how you were as a teen. And you’ll see how much you’ve matured.”

That’s her logic. I can write something about my life as a sixteen year old, and then when I’m thirty and realize all the bullshit she was giving me helped me be the person I am.

She’s making it mandatory. I have to keep it until next year, on my birthday.

I have to write in it everyday.

A sentence or a page.

A word or a phrase.

Ha. Look at me being all poetic and stuff.

At least I can be something, you know?
