Dear Journal,
Mother insisted upon me writing all of my troubled thoughts into this little booklet she bought for me in the market today. She says that it is made from the finest pig-cow's pelt, and the stone is a real "tiger's eye". But truly, I don't see why I need it. What's the point in a little book I am probably not going to write in any ways? I won't keep up with it, but I suppose that I can do it...just for her. I'm getting a little put-off with Mother. She's been getting quite...lost...lately. Lost, I suppose, is the best word for it. Its like she is in slow-motion, and she seems to tune everyone out. It worries me, but at least she isn't tending to my very needs anymore.
Agh! Emi, my stupid, spoiled, bratty, terrible, selfish little sister! She just thinks that she can waltz into my rooms and brag, brag, brag! She thinks she can get away with it? "So what if Mom got you that silly little journal? She gave me a cat-owl!" Argh! The little girl had it coming! I successfully threw my brush at her head and told her to get out or else. I nearly threw you, Journal, but thankfully I thought ahead and changed my mind. She would've stolen it from me. And why does she get the pet, and I get this stupid book? Its not fair! I'm older, wiser, and the heir of this mansion! That little brat...!
But I won't let my anger get a hold of me. Not now. I've worked so hard to achieve prefect calmness--you know I was born calm? My parents thought something was eerily wrong with me, but I was just born that way. Always calm. Always easily put to rest. Its a burden sometimes, trying to be the calmest in our family.
Mother just came in, yelling at me about throwing my brush at Emi. At least, she had started to yell about that, I guess, but then she saw me writing in you, Journal, and she changed her mind with a bright smile. "I'm glad to see you have taken to it so well," she simply mused before shutting the door behind her. I swear, sometimes that woman is just too off.
I am anything but "taken" to it. I probably will stop writing the third day. Yes, I am sure I will. How could I possibly keep this up, when I am so excited about the Academy? It will be fun, and perhaps something new and exciting will happen to me there! Just a few months more, and I will be gone from this chaotic place!
Perhaps I will write more soon,
Yasu Al
