A 7th Grader's Diary Resignation

Dear diary,

Today was a pretty good day. I had school, which was decent; nothing out of the ordinary. Jenny and I got ice cream after school, which is great, cuz it was SO hot and I was in desperate need of ice cream.

But Jenny brought her friend Ryan and Ryan has become like her boyfriend over the past little bit and so they were SO flirty and disgusting. I wanted to crawl into a hole and die there. EW.

But that's not what I REALLY wanted to tell you about. I wanted to tell you about how there's gonna be a party soon because we're done grade six now and we're gonna have an end of the year party. It's gonna be SO fun but I'm thinking Jenny is gonna spend ALL her time with Ryan and no time with me. Also I'm pretty sure they're gonna have a bouncy house.

Also...

You're not gonna hear from me for a while, because well, I'm firing you. Well, technically. I'm making YOU fire ME. I'm resigning, officially, from being your writer/reporter. It's just not working out.

Well, I've been so stressed out over the days I've missed writing to you, and it's making me upset. I want to be perfect for you, you know? But isn't that a little childish? Don't you see? I'm just a little too old for this now...

There are plenty of people who would love to be your writer though... There are plenty of fish in the sea!

And you must be tired of me, too. I can only imagine how you must hate getting scribbled in, having little cut outs glued to you just to be ripped off and put somewhere better, and getting your pages torn out because they weren't perfectly done...

See. That's just the problem. I'm too much of a perfectionist for you! I'm going to drive you crazy! Or at least it feels like I'M making YOU drive ME crazy.

And that's just it! I'm gonna start grade seven soon and I'm being driven crazy over a diary... I can't be a junior high schooler who is going crazy over a diary!

Okay, fine. You wanna know the real reason I'm breaking up with you? HERE.

LIST OF REASONS WHY I AM BREAKING UP WITH YOU, DIARY:

Number 1: I don't have enough time for you. There's too much living to do, and I'm sorry, but you're just in the way.

How am I supposed to do things in the real world when I'm sitting writing in you all the time!

Number 2: It makes me mad that your lines don't have margins and I was thinking of getting a different diary, but Mom gave you to me as a present, and besides, reason #1 exists!

Number 3: You're just a little too pink. And you've got one of those little locks. It's just so... elementary. Middle school, even. It's time for a big girl journal! But I don't need a big girl journal because of reason #1... UGH! FORGET THAT!

Number 4: You make me wanna tear my hair out sometimes. I mean, look at reason #3. I'm surprised I don't even tear the page right out.

Number 5: Okay this isn't really another reason, but you making me want to tear my hair out sometimes just shows that I'm too much of a perfectionist for this relationship. I have to dump you.

Remember the time that I was really angry at Jenny and I scribbled like 5 pages of ranting and yapping, and then Jenny and I made up and I was upset that I wrote all of that about her so then I tore it up but then we started fighting again so I taped the pages back in but that didn't look good so I rewrote all of it, and then tore it back out again when we made up again?

I'm too much of a mess for you, diary!

Number 6: I don't have enough drama in my life to keep you satisfied. I can tell, diary. You want out of this.

I don't even have a boyfriend. Don't you want a writer with a boyfriend? Jenny has a boyfriend and I bet she writes in her diary fifteen times a day.

Number 7: I'm gonna start my babysitting job soon and I'll have even LESS time!

How can you expect me to babysit a little child AND still have time to tell you all about it? I just can't do it!

And do you really wanna hear about all the things I do with a baby all day? I would be telling you all about how many times she threw up, the diaper changes, all of that. That's nasty!

Number 8: Jenny just started babysitting a week ago and she threw HER diary away.

I'm just saying...

UGH.

I love you, diary. But really this is the best thing for the both of us. I'm done grade six now and I'm gonna be an adult soon, so I need you to be strong and understand that this is just not a MATURE relationship, you know?

You get it.

Goodbye, diary, for the very last time.

Yours truly,

Georgia ♡

A/N: This was actually really fun and cute to write. It's definitely not the best entry ever for this challenge, but I thought it was fun anyhow! Thank you so much for reading.

I'd like to be more active with creative writing on Vocal, inspired by the creators that make content daily on here (which is a feat I still cannot fathom). I'd also like to write some more A/Ns to my stuff as well, just to give a little more personality. :D

Anyhow, thank you so much for reading!
