**Journal Entry: May 12th, 2021**
Dear Journal,
Today, my world crumbled beneath my feet, leaving me stranded in a desolate landscape of despair and uncertainty. The sun may have been shining outside, but within the confines of the doctor's office, darkness reigned supreme.
As I sat in the sterile room, the air thick with the scent of antiseptic and fear, my heart pounded in my chest like a trapped bird desperate to escape its cage. With each passing moment, the weight of impending doom pressed down upon me, threatening to crush me beneath its suffocating embrace.
When the doctor finally uttered those dreaded words, his voice heavy with regret and sympathy, a cold shiver ran down my spine. "You have a rare autoimmune disease," he said, his words like a death knell tolling in the recesses of my mind.
In that moment, my world came crashing down around me, the walls closing in as if to suffocate me with their suffocating embrace. Thoughts raced through my mind like a whirlwind, each one more terrifying than the last. What would become of me? What about all the dreams and aspirations I once held dear?
Tears blurred my vision as I stumbled out of the doctor's office, the weight of my diagnosis bearing down on me like a leaden cloak. My steps felt heavy and unsteady, as if I were walking through a fog of despair that threatened to swallow me whole.
As I retreat into the solitude of my room, the silence is deafening, broken only by the rhythmic pounding of my heart and the ragged breaths that escape my lips. In the darkness, I am consumed by a sense of profound loss, mourning the life I once knew and the future I had hoped to claim as my own.
Until next time,
Eunji
