Dear digital diary
My teletherapist says keeping an audio diary could help me work through some stuff
As long as I'm honest with myself
Seems kinda lame, but I'm sure she's gonna ask if I'm keeping up with it
So here goes nothing

Jesus, where to start
So this summer, my boyfriend, JJ
was killed in a freak car accident
He was my first real boyfriend
And he was also my best friend
And it fucking sucks
We had a million plans for the future
And now he's just gone
God, I'd do anything to have him back
Even just to, you know, to say goodbye
Okay
Enough about that

So, my parents sent me out of state to help my Uncle Max at his bookstore
Sleepy Owl, for a couple months
They think a change of scenery will help me move on with life, or whatever
I think Mom worries Max spends too much time alone
And could use someone to talk to besides Giles
Oh, Giles is the cat at the store, by the way
He pretty much sleeps 24-7
Anyway, yesterday, I was doing some dusting there while Max was out
and I swear to God
When I blew some dust off of this old safe
It opened by itself
Talk about a case of the wiggins
So after I uncrapped my pants
I couldn't help but look inside
And I found this

Diary Note
I'm holding an old, leather-bound book
With a weird symbol on the front
I was going to just put it back in the safe
But it's hard to explain
I just didn't want to let it go

It must be the feel of the worn leather
Or the weird smell or something
But when I hold it, I just feel better somehow

I figure based off the amount of dust on the safe
Max won't even miss it
I know what you're thinking
But I'm not stealing it
Don't judge me, diary
I'm gonna put it back soon
But for now, this is just our little secret
I don't know why
But I really don't think I should tell Max I have it
Besides, from what I could see from a quick flip
It's just page after page of gibberish and weird symbols
I don't think it's some priceless
Long-lost work of Shakespeare or something

I figure since it's such a nice evening
I'm gonna sneak it out with me tonight in my backpack
When I go out to the tree line to burn one
Again, don't judge me, diary
Oh yeah, I think it's a full moon tonight too
Maybe I'll take some pics of the book
in the moonlight for my Insta or something
Did I mention it's kind of boring here
Well, I guess that's it for now, diary

Lexi, out
