The summer of 2007 changed my life forever. I grew up that summer in many ways. I found my best friend, left her and my first boyfriend, and had to start over here, a place I didn't want to live, all on my own. Moving is hard even with support from family, new friends, and old ones. It was the most crazy time that I have ever had in my life, and at the end of the day the only thing I really had was my diary. Sure my family was a constant, they always have been. But no one survives on family alone. My diary holds not only major events, but my thoughts and words that I wrote about the hard time.
Since I have had it for three years, it is fun going back to dates one or two years ago and reading what happened. I don't write every single day like I used to. But I write on all the important ones. It is strange how much three years can do. How much one day can do. How every minor event can someday change your life. The people who don't record their life aren't going to remember some events that change their lives. I fell special that I will.
I have often thought of publishing my diary. I decided that I would only do it when I leave for good. Everyone would be surprised. Even people who think they mean nothing to me, they would find out they do. The only real problem with that is that I wouldn't have anything left as a secret for me. I like having something trustworthy all to my self. I have told my share of secrets just like everyone else, but there are secrets I would never tell, and my diary knows them. Go Ask Alice is one of my favorite books. It is a published diary. I think that was what gave me the idea. I probally never will, but I do think about it sometimes.
