Dear Diary

Write 31 Days - Day 4 Dear Diary  : Write a journal entry. October 4, 2018 7:13pm Dear Journal, It's been a long day. I'm tired. In fact, I'm always tired. Eternally tired.

Done with the night checks every five minutes. Done with the strip searches. Somehow, I longed for the home I hated so much. I needed to leave.         Until you have made progress and can show that you are no longer a threat to yourself or others, you will stay here.           But my thoughts were never going to change. These thoughts were ones I had
