 June

I haven’t remembered much from this month, except that I stopped talking to my sister because she had taken my phone. (She had already broken it a month or two ago—I can’t quite recall.)

July

I remember having read several mangas this month. I’ve still enjoyed school and my internship. While there, I made a friend who was older than me, but we’ve gotten along well because she played Brawl Stars. It was also vacation time. I’ve watched lots of anime, which has made me reflect on who I really am and who I want to be. Some of them, like Bocchi the Rock, have made me feel seen.

August

This month has felt a bit repetitive. I had distanced myself from my best friend but later made up with her. It was my sister’s birthday, and I’ve started talking to her again too. School has resumed, and I’ve continued to enjoy spending time with my friends while becoming more open with them. Oh, and one of my favorite anime series, Makeine, has started airing.

September

This has been one of my favorite months, though not entirely perfect. By this time, I had already gotten used to school again. It was also my birthday, but no one at school remembered until I mentioned it. I’ve felt a bit hurt by that since none of the people I’ve called friends remembered. However, at home, I’ve had a good time. I’ve received headphones, an umbrella, and my first flowers ever as gifts. Other than that, everything’s been normal.

October

This has been one of the worst months for me. I’ve lost contact with the person I liked, Rubén. He’s gone to dual (work-study), and that has affected me somewhat because I’ve considered him both a rival and a close friend. After that, I’ve stopped trying as hard at school and my internship for a while, but I’ve managed to pick myself up again. I’ve distanced myself from the people I’ve considered friends after fighting with one of them. In truth, I haven’t felt comfortable with the group and was just looking for an excuse to leave without hurting anyone.

After that, my group has stopped talking to me, but I’ve gotten closer to Maite and her group. They’ve been very kind, and I’ve felt good around them. Although we aren’t very close, I know I can talk to them.

November

Lastly, this month I’ve been very busy with projects and everything else. I’ve thought about giving love another chance with a woman named Kenia. My best friend Kevin introduced me to her, but I haven’t ended up liking her much since she’s been very distant and uninterested in what I’ve done.

One day, Kevin messaged me saying he wanted to talk. He told me that he wanted to try something with Kenia because, during a party, they kissed, and she admitted that she liked him. Now I’m just waiting to see how it all ends.

Thanks for reading.
