Dear Journal,

I decided that I would keep track of feelings every single day and either write a story or a poem to go with the feelings of the day. So I will begin work on this now and see how it goes.

Trust

Trust used to be something you could count on before.
Now before anything is said and done, you must know the score.
People use you, only if it is allowed to be that way.
So if it happens to you, there is not much to say.
You set yourself up for what you knew would be a fall.
It would have been easier, if you had never known at all.
Don't take things for granted, that's not how life is.
As soon as you learn this, you will see you can't miss.

Well, I don't know how this is going to work. This does nothing in helping me sort out my feelings for Jim. I am so confused; I don't even know what to do. I don't have anyone to talk to, because he is my best friend, I usually go to him. Now there is no one. Maybe I could talk to Megan, Rafe or even Simon. No, don't think so. Okay, I will give the journal a few more days to help me sort out my thoughts. I mean if worse comes to worse, I can always start to look for a new place.

Dear Journal, I am so sad today; I wish you could talk to me. I am so lonely. I miss talking with Jim.
