Wow. Look at me...procrastinating on journaling. I know...but you'll never believe what happened to me today. I took a walk in Troll Forest, and came across a bridge, which looked a bit old and unsafe to cross, so I plan to turn around to go back home, but then something flashes from under the bridge. I was like, "Whoa, what was that?" Yes, like what any other person would say, right? Or is it just me? Then, I peered at the bridge and then at the area where I saw the shadow-like figure, or what I say was something that flashed in the shadows from under the bridge. Was it like a creature like Synth or something?

I thought I was dreaming or at least thinking about the "Life of Pi" book. Maybe I read it for so long that it came across from my mind? I made a move to go under the bridge to find out what it was. I grabbed my Nunchunks from my backpack, sliding down the slope, walking towards under the bridge. I step closer. I gulped. My hands shook, making the nunchunks move too. I jumped ahead...

And what I find was a....predator...a black bird. I stepped back, but a bit too far, stepping on a stick. It cracked, grabbing the bird's attention. It screeched at me, I ran and screamed for my life. I kept running without looking back and when I got back to Troll Village, I set an alarm to warn everyone about the bird. Everyone panicked a bit for two minutes until Poppy announced that she had seen the bird flew away. I was still shaky while everyone else sighed in relief. Poppy comforted me that I was going to be okay and that it was gone. But how though? It was following me. I went back into my bunker, staying in there for a long time till now. I guess this explains why I procrastinated on journaling because of that event, which happened around the afternoon. So, I'm going to be doing the journaling prompt to help calm me down, and I'll be ready to go to bed.

Journaling Prompt of the Day: How can you step out of your comfort zone more?

Now this is such a hard question, though I should really think about this more. So, for get me out of my comfort zone more, I should face my fears. Yes, I know. I should've faced my fear of that bird today, but didn't. I should try new things, like going into parties that I never want to go to, and journal more about my thoughts and feelings. I'm trying and I hope to be a bit more comfortable in writing about my feelings more. I also should do more dares, like doing more of the Truth or Dare game. Sounds crazy, but true.

================

Aah, I feel better now after journaling. Oh my gosh, it's getting late. I'm off to bed and hopefully I won't get any nightmares. Goodnight.
