Dear diary,
A child's life. So carefree and filled with endless possibilities. All the friends you could imagine, and everyone fits together like a giant puzzle crafted so perfectly. Yet, during this strange and often painful transition from childhood to adulthood, it can be so different from the "normal". Why doesn't anybody agree with each other anymore? Why don't the similar pieces of this big puzzle we live in fit together anymore? The only thing I can think of is how we view each other and ourselves. I personally find that teenagers don't care anymore about anything useful. No more affection. No more care among others. No more getting along with everyone. All us teens care about today is appearance and who our friends are. Why? Diary, I have so many questions. Why does being a teenager have to be so unfair?
Today was the first day of school, and I think it may be difficult this year. When the teacher was calling out the names of all 23 students in the class, the first name I heard subconsciously that made me silently cringe was "Linda". My worst nightmare. Why did she have to be in my class!? After all the bullying she's done to me, I don't know why I should have to put up with her for one more minute, let alone a whole new year. She's rude, she only talks to me when she's insulting me to my face, and she only acknowledges me when I'm being picked on. I don't understand what goes through that girl's mind sometimes. She thinks she can say whatever she wants to whoever she want. Who does she think she is?
I guess things could improve, considering the fact that my crush is also in my class... Jacob has been my crush since the 3rd grade. That's almost 7 years now, and this is the first year we'll be in the same class! He's popular, kind(ish), and from what I am vaguely tell, somewhat intelligent. I knew that the moment I saw him, I was going to make him mine. Wow, now that I read this over and think about it, this sounds so teen-like of me. "I knew I was going to make him mine"... I guess that's how teenagers think.
I'm so happy that I'm a teenager (in my mind, I'm reading this in a sarcastic voice). Oh, the joys to come...
Goodnight diary, and thanks for listening to me ranting.
Love, Samantha
