"The Unfiltered Truth: A Teenage Confessional" – that was the title that now appeared on a popular online magazine. Sarah had stumbled upon it by chance. Her breath caught in her throat. She had always wondered what would happen to her old diaries.

She could barely contain herself. Each comment was a gift. Each “like” a validation. She bit her lip, trying to stop the smile that threatened to split her face in two. Her heart felt as though it were expanding inside her chest, taking up all the space.

She leaped up from her chair, and the sudden motion made her dizzy. She grabbed her purse and ran for the door. She would go for a walk, basking in the glow of this unexpected attention. She had a sudden, overwhelming urge to buy new shoes.
