### Diary Entry — November 25, 2010
Dear Diary,
I'm still reeling from yesterday's proposal. When I asked Isabella to marry me, I was filled with hope and excitement, but her response left me feeling crushed. "I need to think about it." Those words echoed in my mind, and I can't shake the feeling of uncertainty that's settled in my chest.
What does she need to think about? Does she not love me as much as I love her? I thought we were on the same page, that we both wanted this future together. We've talked about our dreams, our plans for a family, and building a life side by side.
When I knelt down and saw the surprise in her eyes, I hoped for tears of joy, not hesitation. I wanted to share my life with her, to make her mine for good. I can't help but feel a wave of insecurity washing over me. Hasn't the last year been enough to show her how committed I am?
After she left, I sat on that park bench, staring at the ring in my hand. It felt heavy, like a promise unfulfilled. I was ready to take that leap, but now I'm left hanging in the air. I thought she'd say yes, but now I'm questioning everything.
I know she's young—only 20—and maybe I was being too impulsive. But I love her. I want to grow old with her, to face life's challenges together. I can't imagine being with anyone else.
When she mentioned talking to her parents, I felt a pang of anxiety. What if they don't approve? What if they make her doubt us even more? I respect her parents, but their opinions shouldn't dictate our future.
I just need to give her some space and let her think. But waiting is the hardest part. I hope she realizes how much I care for her and how serious I am about this. I need her to see that I'm committed and that I want to build our lives together, no matter the challenges.
I've got to stay hopeful. I just wish I knew how she felt deep down. I want her to be sure about us.
Goodnight, Diary!
