My Journal (Just for you mom!)
So before i left home mum gave me this book thingy and told me to write about all that i see. She told me that by the time i got back i wouldn't remember everything about my journey and so i could use this later to help me remember. I told her i only planned to be gone for a year but she just smiled and said she expected me to be gone longer. I don't know what that means. I mean there can't be that much out there...right?
But anyway it was a sad goodbye as i hugged all my siblings and my parents. My mum always had a smile but i think my dad was gonna cry. Before i had gone too far i turned around to look back at them all waving goodbye to me and i wondered how long it would be till i see them again. I tried to ignore the feeling to simply swim back now. I want to see the world. But i don't want to leave my family who i have known all my life.
I was frozen for a few moments before i finally waved back and swam off. That was a hard decision...
Day 1
This isn't actually the first day this is just the first day i've opened the journal since mum gave this to me. I haven't been keeping good track of time on my journey to land. I've been too excited. I think it was a few days? Or was it hours...i can't remember.
I should be arriving in Riverfall soon. Mom gave me directions and says i'll be welcome there but i'm not too sure. I've never met a land folk person...thingy before. What if they don't like me? What if i do something wrong and they try and hurt me?
...i can't let these thoughts get the best of me. I should trust mom. And mom said everything will be fine. But i still can't help but be nervous. Anyway i should get on with my day. I'm determined to get there as soon as i can!
Don't worry mom. I'll write some more tonight. I won't get distracted. Love you!
