Dear Diary,
I can't believe I'm finally starting a journal! Mama got me this beautiful book for my birthday, but I kept putting off writing in it. Now, with school starting again, it seems like the right time.
So, let's get one thing straight—my name is Lovely Augustin. Yes, you read that right. Lovely. Mama says it's a beautiful name and that I should be proud of it. But it's hard to feel that way when the kids at school tease me all the time. They call me things like "Lovely the Loon" or "Lovely Loser." It's so frustrating! I wish they could see how much it hurts.
Sometimes, I think about what it would be like to have a normal name, like Anna or Maria. But no, I'm stuck with Lovely. I try to ignore them, but it's tough.
Anyway, today was pretty uneventful, aside from the usual teasing. I spent most of my time after school helping Mama with dinner. Papa is working late again, so it's just me, Mama, and little Jakob. He's only eight and so sweet. He doesn't understand why I'm so upset about my name. He just calls me "Lovey" and gives me the biggest hugs.
I really hope things get better at school. Maybe writing in this journal will help me feel better about everything. I just need to find a way to stay strong and not let their words get to me.
Till next time,
Lovely
