1:50 P.M.Dear Diary,
Staying at home all day was a bad idea. I have nothing else to do but overthink. I don't know what to do with my life. I mean I'm bored with school, but at least I'm distracted from all my stupid thoughts. How could Jenna survive staying inside? I'm really curious.
I really want to go out. I want to drink again. I haven't been drunk for almost a month now. I want that bitter liquid in my mouth flowing to my throat where I can feel some heat and then straight to my stomach where it will later flow through my bloodstream.
Oh, I remember. I was right about the package that arrived yesterday. And Papa gave me a drawing tablet for Christmas which Mama wouldn't let me touch because of what I had done yesterday. She told me until I apologize to Brad which will never happen, I couldn't touch my Christmas gift. I will tell Papa about this.
Diary, what do you think? Should I apologize? Now I'm really thinking about my action. Is violence justifiable in any circumstance? I have to do a quick google search for that. Results say that violence is justifiable when it is used as self-defense. Clearly, my use of violence yesterday is not for self-defense. Am I wrong for doing that? But I really don't feel any regret.
I have been thinking, there are studies that show how women's sentences are not as heavy compared to men's sentences over the same crimes. Why? There's also this social experiment about a man and woman fighting in public. They tried comparing how people would react if a man becomes aggressive during an argument to how people would react if a woman becomes aggressive during an argument. And I have predicted the result, people were more concerned if a man becomes aggressive than when a woman does the same. I think in these situations, men are at a disadvantage.
To tell you the truth, I don't know what to do after learning this information. In fact, most of the information I come across with, I don't know what to do with them. Hopefully, these prejudice and discrimination will change both for men and women.
I feel so sleepy. I'll just take my siesta. I'll write again soon.
