Lily’s Diary pg 7

 

Happy Sunday Readers!

~Grab a iced latte, personal favorite is a dark mocha with a pump of raspberry flavor.

Get comfy for some good reading~

 

We enter into the Diary of Lily Shels, a 9th grader who, as we are about to find out, is struggling with many different challenges. One of the biggest is opening up to her best friend Doris about everything she is struggling with. Being vulnerable is harder than some of us let on.

Drop a ❤ in the comments if you are drinking water today! ❤

 

 

After talking to Mina, Doris decided to wait until after she finished the last 2 diary’s before asking questions. She took a few days break to help her let go of what Lily said about her. It hurt but that was almost half a year ago already.

Mina’s last piece of advice was “Doris, that is still Lily, but that was also a very stressed, anxious and lonely Lily. Don’t hold that against her. We are human and even the best of friends go through a hard time in their friendship where everything is tested. That’s why we need to focus on the Lily here with us today. She’s working hard to open up to you about everything she’s been bottling up inside for a few years now. Give her time and show some love. If you two can work through this trial, you will both become even closer friends.” 

Doris thought about Lily just a few days ago, asking if she was doing alright. Asking about her most recent crush, if they can hang out soon. Most importantly Lily is keeping her promise, to tell her when she’s done with the diary’s, what really happened that semester. Doris shuddered. It was such a confusion day. Ambulances, teachers running around. Lily, nowhere to be found.

 

Lily’s Diary

 

Dear Diary,

Let’s talk about your feelings:

YOu want to know what I’m feeling right now? I’m feeling beyond ticked off! I sit and journal every night and NOTHING SEEMS TO BE HELPING!

What happened today:

Well let’s see. I locked myself in the bathroom AGAIN. Isaac has been beating my brain up with all these thoughts and I just don’t get it. How did he get so insecure that he literally thinks he’s a worthless piece of trash?? No one ever even said that to him. Sure his friends are losers who are just using him but really? Is that something worth crying over and thinking you are worthless now? GAhhh!!

I came home cranky as can be, Mom told me to do something and I lost my temper and yelled back at her. I was pulled to the side, given a stern lecture then was sent to my room to calm down. I wanted to scream back and say how the heck am I supposed to stay calm? I’ve got my teenage body doing it’s thing, a trapped spirit in my head who is suicidal and in a ton of pain plus I have like 3 tests tomorrow that I haven’t had the brain cells to study for yet. Doris avoided me like the plague since I snapped at her the other day.

Excuse me while I scream into the closest pillow! I keep writing in these dumb journals but nothing is changing or helping. Just reliving the already crappy day I’ve had. I miss the old days…when I woke up went to school, came home, hung out with my friends and that’s all. No weird spirits. No therapy…no nothing.

Grateful for: Nothing tonight. I don’t feel grateful for anything.

~Lily
