Dear diary,

It has been three weeks since my mum and dad decided to get a divorce to say it has been hard in a total under statement dad is talking about moving interstate and wants me to go with him while mum is staying here and understands that I have uni to complete. I don't want my dad to move away, I just want to wake up and for all of this to have been a horrible dream but its not and I can't wake up from it because as of the 2/4/2013 this became my reality.

I have been trying to get back to normal life what ever that is but I am trying to make it feel as normal as possible. I make sure Uni is my top priority and I get all my work done, turn up to lectures and I study for exams but I also make sure I have some me time where I just take time out and read a book or listen to music or just hang with some mates so I don't have to worry about what is going on at home.

Dear diary,

Today my dad decided he wanted to have a chat. He has been thinking about moving interstate and he wanted to tell me that after the settlement has gone through and he and mum have their halves of money he wants me to go with him to the Gold Coast. I have lived in Melbourne my whole life and my whole family is here and friends and I am also studying through RMIT, I can't just up and leave I know dad means well and I don't want him to go.

Sophie: "Hello"

Kaileah : "Sophie, how are you doing?'

Sophie: "To be honest not that good Kaileah I just don't know what to do or think anymore?"

Kaileah : "I think you need a girls night in to forget about everything and just let loose. Come over to my place bring your onesie and I will sort out the rest".

Sophie: "Thanks so much Kaileah I really need this".

Kaileah: "No problem, see you at 5".

*Hangs up phone*.

Dear diary,

I had the best girls night in last night with Kaileah I really needed it, we watched chick flicks and had pizza for dinner we stayed up all night talking and laughing and just hanging out like we used to as kids. Kaileah really is a once in a life time friend, she knows exactly how to chear me up I don't know what I would do without her.

Our house goes on the market tomorrow :(.

I have lived in this house all of my life it has so many memories. Dad said as soon as he has his half of his money he is moving. I don't know how my life has changed so much, I never knew they where so unhappy. I asked dad if he was still thinking of moving to the Gold coast and he said no and that he had always like the idea of living in Darwin, NT he said they have crocodiles there and you can't swim in the beach because of them, I have never been to Darwin but I guess if dad goes there to live then I will have a reason to visit.

For some reason my dad keeps on begging me to move with him. I have never been really close to my dad and all of my friends are in Melbourne, I don't know what to do but something is telling me deep down to go because if I stay something bad is going to happen.

Well I suppose I had better get some sleep, I have a big day ahead of me tomorrow at uni.

Dear diary,

Wow was today a stressful day!

3 exams and having to hand in 4 assignements in the one day!

I need to sleep, but I can't because I have to study for another 2 exams tomorrow.

Its times like these when I really need to meditate or do some yoga to destress.

Well I better go and study it isn't going to do it on it's own.
