Journal Entry #1

My name is Foreverin. All my life, I have known my world covered in forest. I am unsure what possessed me to start a journal, but I feel as though my heart wanted to write and to tell my story.

As I write this under the moonlight that blankets the woods, my father has fallen ill.

I am lost.

I don’t know what else to do. The doctor has traveled to our side of the woods to see if there is anything he can do for him and to cure him.

He said that his heart had grown weak and there was nothing that he could do to save him. He told me something that was like a jab to the heart as if I were supposed to admit defeat and let my father die.

He said, “Pray to the Goddess that he makes a speedy recovery.”

He handed me some herbs and a bottle of fresh spring water and left before sunset today.

The Goddess said to bring peace and happiness to all.

And yet all my life, I have only known pain.

My mother died as I was being born into this world. Father struggled to raise me. He was heartbroken that the love of his life had been taken from him so suddenly.

I had remained strong for him and tried to take care of him…

But it seems that I could only do so much.

If this Goddess brings happiness then why am I not happy? Why has she abandoned me and left me to suffer?

It’s quite simple really… there is no Goddess… and I will prove it.
