This is my first time writing a journal, I wonder what I should write? Well, I can start with an introduction I guess?
My name is April, I was born in May. I am currently 19 years old. The reason I am writing this is because I was recommend to write a journal by my therapist. So I guess I should maybe write what i'm thinking about?
I bought a cactus ball two days ago, I was again recommended to take care of the cactus ball by my therapist. She said it would help with my need for order and a schedule as well as help me emotionally. She said it would give me a sense of control. I don't understand why it would help emotionally but I will try anyways.
I don't understand much about taking care of plants, I just know that I need to water it and give it sunlight, but I wonder how much? Well, I guess I can just look it up.
I'll go do that now.

It's been five hours, I decided to write because it's suppose to help me emotionally. I don't feel very good. I was just thinking about if I should go to my friend, Charles, and see if he knows how to take care of a cactus ball or maybe he can give me tips. He really likes plants.
But as soon as I opened the door and saw a bunch of people, I froze. I don't like strangers, I don't like them looking at me. I decided not to go out, I don't often go out, especially after I moved. My friend said to live near him to help with this problem, but I don't like it still. Did I fail him? I don't know, I really don't know.
I guess writing did make me feel better. Maybe I can just go tomorrow? After all, it's getting late. Yes, let's go tomorrow.

I prefer writing in the morning, however theres not much to write about if you just woke up. That kinda makes me feel down. Wonder why? I guess I can just ask my therapist.
***
My therapist said that it probably means I don't feel like i've done anything, it's the fealing that I am not doing enough. However, what can you do in the morning? I guess I can excercise, or... maybe I shouldn't write that down.
This was supposed to be positive but I don't feel nice.

The cactus ball looks cute, it makes me feel happy. I messaged my friend about taking care of one, he gave helpful tips.
***
My mom called me. I don't like it. I didn't answer, I don't know why though. She ment no harm, it's not supposed to be scary, so why is it?
I don't feel well...

I still don't feel well. I think I won't write anymore for today.

Author dearest has something to say!
Hello, welcome to my new series! This is less plot driven and more about character growth. You'll see other characters in April's life as well as their lives so I hope you don't get too bored with the beginning. I hope you could be forgiving with April, she does grow as a person throughou this story but please remember that she suffers from psychological issues, so she may be not the best right now.
