Hey Diary,

So, today was a long day.

We practiced for IU's new single for about five hours non-stop. It was exhausting but I love dancing. It is my passion.

Even though I am not in the spotlight, just being able to be up on that stage is enough for me. I always told my parents that I would make it up there one day and they would be proud of me.

And they are. They make sure to watch each performance if possible. They love me way too much Diary. Maybe it is because I am an only child now. Or maybe it's because after what happened, they felt like they had to show all their love.

Who knows. All I know is that I can now pay them back for everything they did for me, bit by bit. I just hope that at some point, my life can get a little better. Just a little bit.

That is all I am asking for.

Well I am off to practice again. Four more hours left.

Wish me luck.

XOXO
