Friendship Day

July 20, 1986: Today, to celebrate Friendship Day, I am taking my Tia out. She is the only and the best friend I have. There´ll be no pain, no worries about money or health. Nothing distasteful, nothing sad or gloomy. I wish it could be like this always.

Edge

July 18, 1986: I feel like John Garfield in those late 30s, early 40s movies. He was always the outsider, the guy living living on the edge. His protagonists had a happy ending. I don´t think I will.

Guidance

July 12, 1986: No, not Luis. He might think that going to see him is just an excuse. He would be right.I still have feelings for him. That doesn´t change the fact that I have to know where I am going and why. A psychologist. I might try one of them out.

Worse

July 10, 1986: What to do? Being 28 isn´t easy. Not far from 30. There is nothing to show for it, nothing at all. My love for Luis, that´s what I would remember if I could have nothing else happen to me. Luis and my Tia. But there is no glory attached to feeling love and affection for them.
