DAY 17

DAY 17

Date: Feb 19

Emotion: Excited!

Dear diary,

I only have three days left! I've been counting down the days ever since I started this project in the first place, but now I'm nearing the end of the tunnel, and I can see the light. In just three days, I'll be done with writing. It will be nice to have one less thing to worry about in the day, I've already got enough things to think about otherwise. Plus, not having to write means I'll have more time to spend with Romin, which I'm really looking forward to! After today's section, I'll be so close..

I think it's funny that some of the strongest emotions I've written about here are centered around the diary itself. If The Man hadn't given me this diary, I wouldn't have been able to "write" about half of these entries. He's bringing this upon himself, and I find that hilarious.

What's the right word for that..

Is it italic? No, that doesn't sound right.. I don't remember.

Anyways, I plan on spending the day with Romin tomorrow. Now that the two of us are on good terms again, I want to take him out to ice cream. It feels nice to have my friend back, relaxing to know that we aren't fighting anymore.

Thanks to him apologizing. I was waiting for that to happen.
I almost blocked his number on my phone, but I'm now thanking the heavens that I didn't do that. If I had, then I never would have seen his apology, and never would have made up with him in the first place. It would have sucked to still be fighting with him, even after all this time. But everything happens for a reason, doesn't it? I guess that's the reason I didn't end up blocking him. Which is good!

Good on you, past me.

I tried drawing a portrait of Romin on the page next to this one. When The Man reads this, I don't think he'll be able to recognize the drawing. Even I, who actually knows what Romin looks like, can't recognize it at all. I've never been very good at drawing, but the portrait turned out.. Bad.

̶I̶t̶ ̶l̶o̶o̶k̶s̶ ̶l̶i̶k̶e̶ ̶a̶ ̶h̶e̶a̶d̶ ̶w̶i̶t̶h̶ ̶n̶o̶ ̶f̶a̶c̶e̶

His facial features didn't turn out right. It's as if I drew a stranger. I'm disappointed in that, but I'm not going to let it put a damper on the rest of my day, because it's been great other than that. I haven't talked to The Man since my last check in with him a few days ago, and he was so nice then, (for the most part,) that it left me in good spirits, and I'm now looking at him in a more positive light.

Maybe he's not so bad. After all, he is trying to help me.

Even Romin thinks that The Man is a good guy, and that I should give him more of a chance than I have previously. Maybe he's right. Besides, The Man has a nice voice. I like to hear him talk. That's something, at least.

I haven't seen Worm in a while. Romin hasn't brought him up either, because he knows how I feel about him. I appreciate that, because it's nice to be around Romin without hearing him blab on about "Worm this," and "Worm that," and "Worm said" or "Worm thinks". It gets annoying pretty quickly. I don't know where Worm is, or what he's doing, but I hope he stays there.

Especially when I see Romin tomorrow. I want it to just be Romin and me. No Worm.

I'm happy today. I've only got three days left. And I know tomorrow will be a good one.

I can do this!

Signed,

Me.
