This is a foolish idea. It’s absolutely ridiculous. I heard the intern in the office say she keeps a diary, and has for years. She says it’s great to look back on the things she wrote years ago, the feelings that she had then, and see the change. The growth. It’s absolutely stupid. Not her, no. She’s positively brilliant. This… this thing that I am doing. But well, here we are. The diary… no, not diary, journal is bought, and I might as well try it out. I don’t see myself lasting more than a few days writing in it, a few weeks at most.

But I will give it an earnest effort. She said that the results are more potent if one is honest in their entries. A faceless, nameless entity that I can rattle on endlessly to. Very well, I suppose it’s only right for me to try.

Why did I listen to that sweet, yet entirely too-young woman? There must have been some wisdom in her words, surely. There was. (God, Edwynn. Were you one to prattle on incessantly like this?)

Alright, enough of this, dear diary. I’ve bought you, and I will write in you. Let us begin in earnest now. The reason I got you, even though there is no way for you to save me. I fear that my marriage is ending, and I am powerless to stop it.
