Day 611. I cannot believe it has been that long since my family and the other colonists arrived on this planet.
Sometimes it feels like only yesterday when we first emerged from the ship. I remember how my mother beamed, exclaiming, "This is our new home!" My enthusiasm waned, however, when we had to practically crawl off the ship. The gravity on this planet is so much heavier than we are used to. It makes every single movement harder.
I'm tired of the orange sky here. It's not a subtle hue, but a tacky, bright orange. It feels like I'm living inside a giant fruit. It is enormous and endless, and seems to mock me, reminding me that we are alone.
This planet's most redeeming quality is its ring, which was magnificent until winter settled in a few weeks ago. Now, we spend our days under the shadow of the ring, making it so cold that unprotected eyeballs freeze after ten minutes outside. We have to wear heated goggles whenever we leave our shelters.
This morning, after enduring weeks of agonizing cold, I begged to get back on the ship and go to a different planet. But my parents informed me that they were breaking the ship apart; we need its material to build new terraforming equipment. There is no more ship.

"The narrator finds the difficult conditions on the new planet completely disheartening."

Evidence: their enthusiasm "waned," they complain about heavy gravity and the "tacky" orange sky, feel mocked and isolated, are upset by the cold (needing heated goggles; "unprotected eyeballs freeze"), and begged to return to the ship. These lines show discouragement rather than admiration, survival-focused worry, or a sense of adventure.
