Dear Diary, I feel like an idiot. Today I woke up with a mild feeling of cough in my throat and I was immediately afraid that I had Corona. Worst of all, today is the day I was supposed to meet Knight.


So I had two options, either I could not say anything to anyone and meet her like normal. Or I could tell her that we can't meet today and also make my mom mad by telling her about my light cough.


And I chose the latter. I think it was the morally right thing to do, but I screwed so much up by doing so. This was my one chance to meet her, I had made a drawn picture for her and everything, but now she probably thinks I want to avoid her with an excuse or something. I sent her a picture of the "Merry Christmas" part and I hope it makes her at least a little bit happy.


Also my mom reacted really negatively, like it was my fault and then basically said "Well, we will see" This is why I don't talk about personal stuff with her much. 


Now I just sit in my room, in selfimposed quarantine I guess. Once again I ran away from life, it seems to me. Did I do the right thing or am I just giving in to my anxietys I really can't tell anymore.


When I texted with Belle about it (who also asked me to meet today) she immediately told me to move out when I told her the situation with my mom. But I just can't do that so easily at least not now. You will probably interpret this as staying in my comfort zone and maybe you are right, but thats just how I am. It's really hard for me to accept change in my life. Am I an autist after all?


I just ruined everything didn't I? Is there any way to fix my life without drastically changing myself?

Yeah, I think it was the right decision too. Just feels bad to say no when I haven't seen her in so long. And now Belle wanted to see me tomorrow and I think she is mad at me for saying no, but what am I supposed to do? And I also think it's smarter to live at home right now. Flats are really expensive where I live. I would love to be more independent but for now that has to do. Anyway happy Christmas to you! 🎄

I think you made the right choice in staying home. If you're sick, you don't want to spread it right now. Also I think Belle is wrong for urging you to move out right now. We are in a pandemic. This is not the best time to be traveling or moving. Your country may have it in better control and everything but still. I know it's rough trying to be an independent adult while still living with parents. I hate that I still have to follow my parents rules and stuff, but the good news is that I'm saving money by not having to pay actual rent and bills. I don't know what your situation is like though. But sometimes we gotta suffer through the tough times for a while until a better future is in sight (like living with parents while saving up for a better place).
