      Perfection

      Jun 9, 2020

      For years I could barely write a page. I thought I was becoming a virtuoso of smallness while the grief, which is wordless, occupied an ever-greater volume. My friend lived in the estates on the bad side of town. Let’s go to the forest, she said when

      Dear Mum, There are still times when I go to call you. It seems inexplicable to me that you actually died. I used to wonder how it would feel, and after 16 years, I’m still not sure. The main thing I want to tell you is that I get it now. I understan

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go

      Chapter 1

      I am trying my best to think over things, to piece them together. But I think this puzzle is faulty because it’s not fitting properly. My other journal was ruined when I threw it in a river earlier today so this is my attempt at a fresh start.

      I went to Sam’s funeral today. I’ve never been to funeral before and I can’t tell you how strange it is. Everyone was crying; everyone but me. I felt awkward, like I should have been sobbing along with everyone else, but I just couldn’t. I loved Sam and I will miss him, but it just didn’t feel like an upsetting event. I don’t know if this means I'm heartless, I don’t know if this means I'm strong, but one thing I do know is, I don’t want anyone to cry at my funeral. Especially if I look like Sam did. His lifeless face was so peaceful, not happily peaceful but just in a final sort of way.

      Speaking of finals, it’s thirty days until my year 12 exams. I am aiming to get into law school so I need get a high score, otherwise I’ll be taking orders at a fast food chain for the rest of my life. Another highlight to look forward to is formal. I have exactly fifty days until formal and in that time I need to get a dress, book my hair, makeup and nails appointment, organise a limo with my friends and make sure my boyfriend Aaron gets a nice suit. Doesn’t sound like much but it’s almost, if not more, stressful than exams. The difference is I’m actually looking forward to formal.

      I went downstairs and to seek some reassurance re: My sanity

      Mum? I hesitated in the doorway.

      Mm. She mumbled, not bothering to look up.

      Mum, at Sam’s funeral, I didn’t cry… is that- is that normal? I frowned at my feet. It felt better writing it down than saying it out loud.

      Luckily, my Mother just replied, Lauren, write in your journal and you’ll feel better.

      That comment is my life in a nutshell. Nobody has any time for me
