Dear Diary,

Last night I performed my poetry live for the first time (at the MCB with some of my classmates from the Hagley Writers’ Institute). It was over before it began really. I had the mic out and I gushed everywhere. Thoroughly unimpressive. It was over so quickly I didn’t even have time to let my self-pitying angst truly seep in. Oh well. There’s always next time.
