One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A couple years ago, I realized that I was very ashamed of my real self, so I went on facebook and offered to send my diary to anyone who would send me theirs. I got a lot of takers- read about 10 diaries that summer, and sent mine out to the same. Many people are amazingly good writers when no one is looking.

No one has yet leaked my secrets... we will see what happens when I run for or from the president...
