I didn’t think I’d make it this far.
Not just in this journal....in general.

I thought I’d fade, slowly and quietly, without anyone noticing. That was the plan. Or the lack of one.

But now... there’s Lena. There’s this journal. There’s someone who read my silence and didn’t run.

She sat beside me again today. She didn’t talk much. Just handed me a playlist she made. Said, “Songs that helped me when I didn’t know how to say anything out loud.”

I listened to it tonight. Some of them were sad, but some were... warm.
I didn’t expect to cry. But I did. For the first time in a way that didn’t feel like drowning. More like… release.

I still don’t have answers. I still feel like I’m walking a tightrope between okay and not.

And that has to count for something.

So maybe this isn’t a goodbye.
Maybe this is the start of something slower, quieter, but real.

I’ll keep writing. Just in case someone out there needs proof that they’re not the only one still trying to stay.

I just want to gently remind you that this is a fictional journal....none of these entries are real diaries or real people. But the feelings behind them are things many of us understand.
