Open Diary: Back To The Previous

SCRIPTED

*PRESENT DAY: 10th December, 2023*

*BACK TO THE PREVIOUS: 31st March, 2023*

Dear Reader,

Finally, March 31st arrived, and I tried my best—I almost aced every test. Letting go of the past was the hardest, even though it was for the best, but I didn't push myself too hard because I knew it was a gradual process. March felt different; it held the perfect blend of excitement, and gradually, everything started to make sense. I began writing more texts, and people finally started to understand every context. It felt like we could finally connect, and for the first time, I felt seen, not just heard.

I started learning about commitment because, like words, I wanted to be able to hold on to friends. I knew I wasn't the only one who needed to make amends, but I couldn't find happiness alone anymore, and I could no longer pretend. On the first day of March, I declared I would live life to the fullest, but I guess it was a lot harder than I anticipated. Events repeated themselves, but words were always there, so I had no regrets being a reject.

Poetry became my outlet to express every emotion I felt. It held all my moments, and perhaps that's why the past was so difficult to forget. Every moment of my life was scripted in stanzas and verses, and that's why I forget to forget.

Dear Reader, on the 31st of March 2023, I realized I could never forget certain moments because I always found myself going back to read every stanza and every verse.
