Dear Diary:
I can't really use this thing. Aunty Lauren gave me this about a year ago and told me to keep it super super safe and write down everything so one day I could see it when I grow up. I'm hiding under the bed right now because mommy and daddy are fighting again. They always fight and it hurts to hear. My mom blames me for most things and all I try to be is a good daughter for her. It hurts, it sucks but at least Ms. Lauren tells me I'm a good person. I miss her. There's not much to talk about right now because my mind is in a blur. I miss Lauren but mommy and daddy fired her. They said she stole from us but I think they're lying. All they ever do is lie. Lauren isn't like that and I know she wouldn't steal from anyone but I can't argue with them— I'll get even further brutal punishment. It's almost bedtime, so goodbye journal. See you next time.
Love, Dixie
