Dear Diary, 

I haven’t written in about a month or so, but as I’m typing today, I’m realizing that writing anything gives me a sense of normalcy and comfort. Writing has always been my way of releasing any pent-up emotions I may be feeling in the moment. Whether I’m anxious, sad, angry, or all of the above, I can always write it down. It’s the one thing I can do when I feel like everything else is out of my control. Sometimes, reality can be too much, and if I’m focused on writing something like I am right now, I immediately calm down, especially if I’m writing in a quiet area. I’m happy to know that, even while the world seems to be in constant change, I will always have my ability to write and regain my “normal” world whenever I start to feel like I’ve lost it. 

Be back soon,

China
