The Person You Are
Dear Diary,
I myself, Harmony knows everything. When I say that, I mean I notice everything that people do and what they say. This means that I know how people react to everything, if they are lying, if they are trying to be someone they are not, if they are scared, just know that I notice everything and what people say and do. I take this as an advantage.
’ 3/5/15
I woke up in the morning at 5 am. I did not feel like getting up at all. I woke up and took a shower, did my hair, ate, then left with my mom. School was okay for me. I had some good days, and others were just… let’s just say that they were bad. I just always felt sad. I’m guessing today will be a bad day too. When I walked in school, there was a lot of people. I overheard while walking girls talking about how cute each others outfit was. It also smelt like cinnamon. I could just taste the nasty taste of school.
“Hey Lyric.” Kyle said.
“Hey”…
My other friend, Trey came by us at the table. He was always acting different around me when he was with his other friends. I knew our friendship was going to end.
“When do we have that test today?” I asked.
“Really, shut up, you’re always asking dumb questions.” Trey laughed.
The others guys by us laughed. I didn’t say anything because I know he was just being ignorant like me sharing my food.
“She dumb I swear.” Trey told Kyle.
“Yeah, I guess. It was just a question? But okay Trey...”
I wanted to walk away really bad, my mind was telling me to. It told me to just leave and not think about it. I just decided too. Later on the day, trey acted like I was a stranger. When he was walking with his friends, he looked at me and didn’t even say one word to me. The funny part about it is, when we were in the hall, we bumped in to each other, and he said hey to me. I didn’t think about it, until I got home. It seems so weird.
Dear Diary,
Something I really dislike is when people act different around others. Fakeness is makeup hidden what people truly are. The makeup really needs to speak to them and tell them to just be themselves. I don’t understand why people try so hard? Try so hard to act like something they are not. That is just so common for me to see. That’s the problem with most of our society today. We don’t understand that no one will be there for us but ourselves at the end of the day. No one really cares now a days. People will put you down in front of their friends because of what people think and how it will feel to make fun of someone in front of people “popular”. I just don’t get any of it. Writing this makes me so mad, but hey? I can’t change how other people are. At the end of the day, I am myself and won’t ever... EVER... In my life, be someone I am not.
