Excerpt
Prologue
You started as an assignment for me, but became my way of life—a daily task that wouldn’t let me rest unless I’d shared my innermost thoughts, be it at two in the morning or eight in the evening. You have been my savior on dark and lonely nights.
You have been like a second mother, allowing me to tell you everything that happened during the long hours of the day, everything that ripped my heart open with joy and laughter, or pain and tears.
No judgment you gave, only a listening ear to my scribbling. My wild talk.
Frankly, I don’t know if I would have survived this year without you.
I can’t say that I love you; you are not a person, although I suppose one can love a thing, too.
So, I say to you, my dear journal, thank you.
You have been a good friend and my closet, as Jack once said.
Thank you for understanding. For understanding everything.
Even today, as I sit here with only minutes left to write in you, you understand why I’m wearing this dream of white and lace, and why the person I gave my heart to told me that he could love…someone like me
