Dear diary,

My name is Jaime Janko Reeds, but I go by JJ. I'm a slut for programming and roblox. And a mcu fan with an eating disorder.

Yeah..eating disorder. I'm fine now though right? I mean I lost all the extra weight and have worked my body to perfection. Or as perfect as it can be for a 17-year-old. Which in hindsight is a pretty low bar.

Yeah I starved myself but that was back then. Nothing I did worked, dieting, exercise, it didn't matter. So I..I did the only thing I thought I could do.

Guess it wasn't really a surprise when it landed me in the hospital.

I do regret the things I did, the risks I took. How it stressed my family. I think hitting my lowest point..that was kinda the last straw. I've been working my ass off ever since. Whether physically or with a therapist.

Yeah mental health is a big part of it. I guess I'm not fully recovered. I feel like I am but if I was I wouldn't be doing any of this.

Anyway, enough of that.

Things are pretty crazy this week with Mom prepping the house for Shavuot, even though it's still not for a couple of days. I mean who bakes for a festival a week early? Either way, I'm excited.

Celebrations are really the only times the entire family comes together, and even though it can get pretty hectic, it's actually really fun. And if I don't head downstairs soon to help taste test Moms new Blintz recipe, she will most likely ground me from leaving the house.

Which would be terrible timing given my date tomorrow. I mean..is it? I hope it is. Dude was hot.

Well, I don't know his name but I know it started with an A so I'll call him that. Like in Everyday. Good movie, bullcrap ending. Ohh speaking of movies, INFINITY WAR. DUDE. I died inside.

And yeah, yes I watched endgame as soon as it came out.

...I don't wanna talk about it...

I also have another teeth tightening next week. Or whatever you call them. Hurts like hell but i guess it's better than having donkey teet-

The journal was ripped out of JJ's hands, and when he stood from his bed to catch the culprit, he saw his little sister reading his PRIVATE thoughts out loud for the entire empty room to hear, heartless mother of-

"Hey! Give it back you..twerp!" She lifted it out of his reach when he lunged for it.

"So, date with coffee boy huh?" She said mockingly, wiggling her eyebrows.

"Anna, your a goddamn comedian, clearly. Now give it back!" The two continued to fight over the object as a third person walked into the room. A well-manicured hand pressed against their chests nudging them apart.

"That's enough you two." Sarah, their eldest sister spoke with the authority and care of a kind sibling. Unlike some.

"Anna, why don't you head downstairs and help Mom finish baking?" Even though Sarah said it as a suggestion, Anna knew it wasn't. With a roll of her eyes and an exaggerated sigh, she spoke, "Fine. Donkey teeth."

She pivoted on her heel and ran for the door, rushing out of the room as if expecting to get chased. Hah. Girl, no.

"Thanks, sis," He said with a sigh of relief. The best sister, no doubt.
