'Stoicism. June 16th, 2016.'
Dear Journal, I decided to start writing a journal to gather my thoughts and ideas! As well as to document the progression of my mental state through the years. I'll try to commit to a schedule of at least one entry per day. But knowing myself, I'll probably procrastinate doing it. Heheh.
Today, I went out and bought this nice-looking journal. I convinced my parents to let me buy it for "study" purposes.
My 10th birthday is in three days. I wonder what I'll be getting for it? A new gaming console would be nice!
I can hear my parentss coming up to my room, this is gonna be the end of my first entry!

Well, I totally forgot about this dusty old book. I only remembered it after my birthday.
I had a nice celebration and got a brand new gaming console. I got a nice birthday cake aswell! It was in the shape of a dinosaur and it had ice cream in it!

The end of the school year is soon, and my parents and my teachers had a conversation in our house. I snuck around a wall to listen in.
Appparently we...are moving to a different country. I havve to leave everything and everyone I know behind, for my mother's job.
Why.
SsSorry, I got my journal wet.

Sorry about yesterday. I'm much better now. I had a conversation with the neighbour next door yesterday.
She told me that as a human being, I should feel emotions, but to not let those emotions control me. She said this was the foundation of Stoicism?
I don't know what she was talking about, so I looked it up on the internet, it's a way to live life without being tied down by my emotions, I want to do it.

My parents officially announced to us that we were moving, I took it as well as I could have. But my little brother bawled his eyes out, he was young, too young.
If not for him, I might have moisturized my face once more.

I've started reading books on stoicism and adapting to their philosophys.
We're moving in 5 days.

These last few days here, I don't know what to do. My friends don't know that I'm moving yet, so I should probably tell them. but...I don't want to. They don't need to know about this, why would they care.
Anyway, my little brother tried snatching this journal away from me today, hes like a fly how he always annoys me!

Today is the day of the move, I've just been lazy the past few days. I didn't have the energy to write a single word even.
This is it. There is no going back after today.
Goodbye.
