February 10, 1998

"What's in a name?" Shakespeare once asked. That quote became one of the most famous in the world. Now I ask a similar question-- what's in a diary, MY diary, to be exact? Of course, I KNOW what's in it, but I think you'll understand once I get going.

Here is what I think my diary reveals: the thoughts of an adolescent girl trying to find her identity as a player in this constantly changing world. How does she fit in? What role has God chosen for her to fulfill?

I think you, Di, reflect every (almost) girl's diary: a swirl of confusing emotions, the battle to fit in, and yes, even our crushes all are somewhat alike: a person we are trying to pin affection on in vain and who often does not respond favorably.

That is why some good soul invented diaries: a private place to vent our changing feelings as we grow and mature.

I'm not trying to win the Most Thoughtful Entry, Di. I firmly believe that I am correct: I am one of the millions of girls across the WORLD who frequently pour out their souls in the pages provided. We are all different, but with one thing in common: a diary is closer to us than our best friend.
