Dear Diary,
Is it sad that right now you're my best friend? It's true though. I'm new here and don't really know anyone else. They're all too busy with their friends. I feel so left out.
It doesn't help that I'm shy, and a dreamer. People have tried talking to me, but I was lost in some daydream and didn't respond. So now they think I'm stuck up. I'm really not, though.
What I really want to be is a published author. I've wanted to be that for as long as I can remember, and Mom says I have the memory of an elephant! I'd also like to design my own clothes and sell them on Etsy, someday. I don't really care to be rich or wildly famous from either, though. I'd just like to create some things that other people really enjoyed.
I've spent the past hour or so dreaming up names for my future store. I could stick with "Little Story Girl", or I could call it "Ella-Mentary Designs", or something. My favorite idea was "My Sister's Closet", but it's already being used. Besides, I haven't any sisters, so it might seem kind of silly. I was just thinking about my cousins. Erryn, Mandi and Judi are all sisters and they used to constantly steal each others' clothes. They used to fight a lot, too. I've always wished they'd be nicer to each other. They don't know how awfully lonely it is to not have a sister.
That's what I'd like more than anything in the world, even more than Taylor Swift's autograph or having a book published. I would love to have a sister. But Mom and Dad divorced recently, and both say they're happy with just me and my brother. So I guess there's no hope of a sister for me.
Love,
Ella
