What animal are you most like?

I am the turtle. Turtles are slow, just like me. Turtles are shy and enjoy hiding, much like me. Turtles are boring, much like me. Turtles are turtles, and no one really likes turtles.

Create a symbol that stands for you.

A symbol that stands for me is a stitched mouth. I am extremely quiet most of the time. I never say "no" and I rarely defend myself. I feel as though no one wants to hear what I have to say.

Free write Friday!

I can hardly find time to eat. I'm super stressed out and I have no idea how I'm supposed to maintain a social life with this schedule. Not that I have that much of a social life to begin with. People don't like me because I'm too quite, and when I speak up people don't like what I have to say. Maybe I shouldn't let other people effect who I am as much as they do. I just don't know anymore. I'm thankful to be who I am. I guess that's all that matters.

I'm lonely.

I hadn't realized how lonely I was freshman year. I skipped a lot. Every journal entry I was given was written like this. I find it interesting. I wish I could go back in time and tell myself that, despite the current circumstances, everything is going to be okay.

Because it is.
