An additional day of arduous work for Emma but she leisurely opens the book she was wanting to read for a long time. Sitting near her window, she looks back at her diary smiling through the pages. She opens the book titled 'TEEN'.

Dear diary,
Today was an off day for me,
I always look at this guy named Chris in my class and oh my lord! he looks so handsome.
Also having a friend like Sophia is always boring, she never understands my feelings for him.
Sophia is the hardest person to understand on this earth, she is my friend and the most beautiful looking girl in our class but she always stutters in front of Chris and messes up the whole plan.
We had a plan of talking to Chris separately but he always seems so busy around our class.
I need to sleep early, my mom is going to scold me otherwise.

Emma smiled looking at her teenager version. She was now the world's most famous writer and known for her published books. Emma spoke to herself "time flies by". She continued to turn the pages of her teenage diary.

Dear diary,
Chris accepted my proposal and to my surprise, he wanted to talk the same thing with me a long ago.
Now I can make Sophia jealous of my first boyfriend, the fact that she cheated on me with another friend, and now she will be punished!
How fascinating is it to have a boyfriend with blond hair, blue eyes, and a golden smile to which all the girls fall for? like, imagine for an instance?
Chris promised me that he would buy me so much food and treat me better!
Thank you, Chris.

Emma continued to laugh throughout her diary and the way she was fully whipped for Chris. Just then she got a notification from her phone saying "Chris: just reached airport :
".She smiled and turned off the phone and continued to read her diary.

Dear diary,
I cannot explain this feeling, something in my chest feels so heavy and painful. I understood that money cannot buy love and he actually could be honest with me.
Chris made a fool out of me, he is now moving out of the town and going further away from me.
Yes, Chris broke up with me. This is so hurting and unbelievable.
Sophia stayed by me and helped me get through this painful period. I think sometimes we get unexpected love from unexpected people.
I'm sorry Emma, you were heart-broken.

Dear diary,
A lot of questions arise in my mind as I grow big,
Having dreams and goals has become a thing now. People are saying out their goals and desires and meanwhile, I'm not ready for me going to reach the age of 20?
Will things change once I turn 20? will I be considered as an adult from now on?
Writing out stuff has always been my thing, I think I can work on my vocabulary and start writing something useful?
Let's find my way of being happy, Also I shifted to a new apartment while renting it.
I am starting to feel a little depressed and lonely these days, maybe loneliness is a part of life?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Emma read the first page of her diary and was anticipating more content. She turned the next pages and they were blank without anything written on them except for the word 'amen'. She continued to search for what happened to her while going through 20. She finally found some worn-out pages and read them. She gave a bittersweet smile and said "life was hard, but I never gave up"

Dear diary,
This year was the most successful year for me,
I wrote a whole article on how I felt during the period of depression and guess what? I got selected in one of my favorite universities in the world.
I think this is the time to build up what kind of atmosphere I need to go through shortly. Putting my mind at ease but also working it up to get what I want to have is my watchword for a living.
I am going to do better in my career and not care about the whereabouts of my life, I think this is the time I focus on what my life leads to eventually?
Let's work hard and get through this!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Emma gave a simper and felt proud of herself for taking such a good initial step for her career. She stops reading for a while as her phone rings and she gets a phone call from her kids. She lifts the call and smiles from the other side. She gets questioned by her child saying "mom, you should have tried the hair color I sent you, look at your white hair isn't it embarrassing ?". Emma smiles gently and replies saying "having your originality always matters and why should I be embarrassed for my white hair? I am proud that I aged fine". Emma soon hung up the call since her daughter said they were busy. She continued to read the book.

Dear diary,
Feeling so nostalgic from the past things happening to me. Chris joined my university but joined a different campus as he is into producing and filming.
isn't he the same guy who dumped me while I was a teen? But I think as time flies people's attitude also changes and they are not very stable in mental state.
Can't believe we are going on a date again? And also he changed a lot from his past personality.
This personality attracts me and makes me want to fall in love again.

Dear diary,
I finally graduated from my university and today will be a very remarkable day in my life.
Chris proposed to me for marriage, and I am beyond excited for this new journey. I accepted his love proposal, and I will talk this out to my parents soon.
Moving on in life, I learned how our personality changes with the partner's company.
Wish me luck!!

Emma got interrupted while she was reading because the doorbell rang and she had to open it. She went up to the door and smiled through the peephole. A blond-haired man but with bitsy grey strands among them entered the house with a bright smile. Both peck each other as Emma wished him saying 'welcome home Chris'. Chris put back his luggage and questioned Emma 'what were you doing, all this while?'. Emma replied saying 'reading my childhood diary'. Chris nodded and questioned again 'did you talk to the manager? he said you had to meet some agent today?'. Emma shook her head as an answer for no and replied 'I'll talk to him soon'. Time passed as Chris left the main hall and headed straight to shower, Emma sat in the bedroom and continued to read her diary.
