My name is Emily but everyone calls me Em, I’ve been here before, I can’t remember the email I used or username for my old account so I’ve created a new one. Today is day one and I’ve just spent the best part of 30 minutes trying to write my first diary entry only to be unceremoniously thrown out of my new account which meant I lost all my writing.
As I’m sure you are all familiar with day 1’s, today is not a good day so im going to come back tomorrow and try again (ill write in my notes first).Â
Just want to say hello and if anyone else feels desperate, hopeless and ashamed on day one, you’re not alone.Â
