I have looked through these binoculars maybe hundreds of times and never seen what I just saw. It started with the sound. I could hear Charlie’s music in her headphones blasting through their plastic housing, and it was making me even more annoyed with her. On top of that, I kept hearing this repetitive sound outside the car. I just wanted to hide my brain from the world, but something about the s...

Today marks a very important discovery. I’d tell you all about the mundanity that started my day - waking, breakfasting, dressing - but in the years to come, will people really be reading my journals and want to know whether I had eggs or bacon?

Of course not! So I won’t waste any more ink or paper.

I think I have broken gravity.

You’ll note I’ve written THINK and that’s because this is extr...

Dear diary,

I'm quite upset today. I don't understand why adults lie to us, children? Do they think we are stupid?

Just as I do every year, this morning at breakfast I started writing my letter to Santa Claus. I always like to be early because I know - well, knew - how busy it must be around Christmas. Mom wasn't in a great mood, she had burned our toasts and was running out of time to go to work....

I look up outside my bedroom window and I see lots of dots sparkling in the dark sky.

I wonder what they are and Daddy said they’re called stars, each of them as big as or maybe even bigger than the sun.

Daddy is silly because the sun is not that big.

It only looks about the size of a 10 cent coin in the sky. And the stars are even smaller, they look about the size of the holes in Mummy’s wa...

Dear diary

I think I just discovered something. I am pretty sure I am the first to know about this.

Oh my gosh! Good thing my parents don’t know. I think they would kill my brother if they find out.

I pray that Tyler doesn’t get mad at me for knowing his secret. I don’t think he realized he left this in my room. It must’ve fallen out of his backpack. When he was helping me with my schoolwork.

It has been about 2 weeks since I departed Fort Bridger. I would never expect myself to end up in a situation like this, even when that blizzard hit. Soon I hope I find William, after the instructions I gave him if I ever got lost when I left. Now, I must focus on what really troubles me.

Ever since that old man Mr. Rogues took me into his home I knew he was strange, but the ...

There’s this feeling of joy . It embraces me so tightly it feels like I might suffocate but I can’t bring myself to pull away . If I could burry myself deeper into it I would but I’m already fully submerged and it’s not enough . I yearn for more .There’s a feeling of warmth , It runs through my veins . It warms my center and extends to every nerve I have within . My stomach feels unsettled at the ...

Dear Diary,

My tasty achy pains

Are rushing up to the surface

My hopeless drainings

Are bouncing around my core

My stirring thoughts

Only I can understand them

You calm me so, hold me again

But not right now. Not while I’m mad darling

Only when I’m old and perfect again

Not a new fear. Not another one.

Can’t live with all this shivering, I say

Can’t live with all these baddy-bad thoughts...

I love you,

But I don’t know if I’m still in love with you.”

“The is my time for me to be selfish.”

“Y’all just don’t want me to be happy.”

You always liked watching fires

You told me; the colors made everything brighter

That when the sparks crackled you got goosebumps

Chills would rush through your body

& fill your lungs with ambition

The smell of things burning pleased you

Made you feel Powerful...
