Diary Entry

Dear Diary,

Today was a super strange day! After I met Mr. Jarred, I realized that I need to stop worrying so much about how I look. I thought looking pretty would make me happy, but it didn’t. From now on, I want to focus on being kind and loving myself for who I am, not just how I look. I feel like it’s time to be more real and less worried about what everyone else thinks.

Love,
Alice
