Diary ng Mataba [COMPLETED]

DIARY #3

Dear Diary,

I continued struggling with my eating issues throughout freshman year. No one knew, not even my closest friends. "Are you eating OK?" my algebra teacher asked when she saw my head cradled in my arms. "Yeah," I said, smiling tightly. "Just skipped breakfast." She didn't know I meant yesterday's breakfast, and the one before that, too.

But soon, I became tired of lying. Pretending I was OK made me feel worse. I felt guilty betraying my friends' trust by not telling them about something so serious.

It took me days to muster up the courage, and thousands of text drafts deleted, but finally, I did what I should have done much earlier; I reached out.

My first text message was to my best friend: "hey, can i talk to you about something personal?" Not even five minutes later, she responded with, "yeah, what's up babes? :)"
