Chapter 1 - Dear Diary,

Dear Diary, I think I’ve needed a place to reflect that’s separate from the judgment of the outside world for a while. I’ve been hesitant because I’ve brought that judgment into my diaries in the past when reading through previous entries, but I want to create a sacred space where I can relieve stress without fear. This is the start of my self-soothing and self-validating journey. Goodbye perfectionism! I have an interview with the president of Reality TV Corp. in ten minutes! I’ve done a lot of prep work and my friends and family have been very supportive. I’m nervous, but I hope to just be myself. This will be a fun week! We’re going to Bryce’s birthday party tonight, doing an escape room with Rita and Cappie tom orrow, and Samantha wants to hang out this weekend! My Dallas trip with the fam was so special! And I got to come back to hang with Connell and Wade all by myself. We went to an arcade and I stayed the night! Then, Joffrey and I had The Best Singer softball practice. It was so great to see my Best Singer fam again. They make me feel so special. Get full access to My Fictional Diary at myfictionaldiary.substack.com/subscribe
