Odyssey of a Star

Dear Diary,

Have you ever felt like you don't belong? Constantly trying to please others but it's all in vain?

I want to fit in and so, I created a PERSONA. Conducting myself according to what others like. That's how I fit in. Now, you might think that this isn't the correct solution but, in a way, it is also right.

People have different personalities depending on who they are with. It's the same as that.

It's an effective approach. After all, no one likes people who are different.

The only downside to this is that it's tiring to always pretend. It was a very lonely road to take... In a way, it's like destroying one's self.

I'm a little busy so, this should be enough for now, dear diary. I'll see you tomorrow.

"Famous Actress, Pauline Umali, was discovered hiding drugs after a fan snuck into their house! The fan was arrested for breaking and entering while the actress was tried for a drug test..."

The screen showed the famous actress's house, the face of the actress, and the blurred face of the fan who broke in.

Eileen's pupils quivered with anxiety and couldn't take her eyes off the screen, even forgetting to blink.

For the whole day, she was in a daze.

***

The crackling sound of the fire echoed through the dark room. The sound of ripping pages from a notebook can be heard amidst the darkness.

The papers were soon covered in flames... "Goodbye forever.... Dear diary"

The eyes staring at the burning pages were nothing but lifeless. The light of the flames colored her amber eyes.
