Day 1

The doctor has requested I try writing my thoughts and feelings in a journal. I'm not much of a writer, so these entries aren't going to be anything spectacular, mediocre at best. Doctor Andor has requested I write at least one sentence every day, and turn the journal in at the end of the week for review. I don't really know what he's looking for. He told me I have Multiple Personality Disorder, which I don't understand. I've always been myself, I've never felt as if  I've been someone else. According to Andor, I can write whatever I want. If I'm upset, what I did that day, whatever, as long as I sign off every time. I still don't understand what he expects to find...

Whatever it is, I hope it helps cure whatever I have. Maybe the MPD is just a hunch, and he can diagnose me with something else after this test is done.

Until tomorrow,
- Jordan Maron




I pushed away from my desk, carrying the notebook to my bedside table. I ran my fingers through my hair, before checking my bright phone screen. Nothing.

What did I expect? I don't have very many friends. I used to have friends, but after a while they'd leave me, saying it was bipolar or something. I've never understood that. I've always been the same cool and collected Jordan.

I've also been fired for the same reason. Bosses complain about how I'll ditch one day, but to the best of my knowledge, I've never missed a single shift. In fact, I work overtime on the days I do work.

I currently settled working at a small family-owned café, until I can find another computer-science job opportunity. I could either wait for an opportunity like that to stroll around, or go back to college to complete my abandoned engineering degree.

MPD. Multiple Personality Disorder.

It all sounded so foreign to me.

I shuffled over to my dresser, staring into the mirror that hovered above it.

My dark brown hair stuck out in many different directions. My chocolate brown eyes stared back at me, my small stature wearing the usual gray shirt and green shorts.

This is who I am, this is who I've always been, this is who I'll always be.

I am Jordan Maron.
