Dear Journal,

The last few days haven’t been as easy going as I would have wished them to be. With the emotional chaos still fresh in my mind it gets harder and harder to focus on what lies ahead and believe me those events are rather important. But even so, life seems to bring me a few stars now and then, and one os them is named Ren. However, I call him Rosebud. (You know how I fancy endearments.)  It was an odd meeting, I cannot deny that. How often do you just happen to befriend someone whom you bumped into on the street? What made me stay in the first place was the mere fact that I dropped my cellular phone when I mistake walked right into the poor soul. But my interest was piqued rather quickly and it still hasn’t faltered. Tis always pleasant to come across someone who’s ability is similar to your own. 

Our natures may differ but sometimes I would almost want to call us likeminded, I am not too sure about how he’d react to such an appellation but oh well. Journal, this man is a god you see and tis not very odd to me, seeing as I seem to come across many of them nowadays. I think I have mentioned the old man before haven’t I? But this entry is not about him so let us discard that thought immediately. Back t the subject, Rosebud. Yes. This being is sweet beyond belief and though he can act childishly sometimes disliking him is as close to impossible as anything can ever be. He’s genuine and has a kind heart, it shines through his every action. I will never forget that morning when he had decorated my entire chamber with flowers, Lamium to be exact. That is what he calls me, Lamium. Tis wondrous, I usually do not enjoy nicknames, not for myself but I am fine with this one, maybe because it consists of mutual interest for flowers. Reminding me of that I should really bring him with me to the house this summer, show him my garden. I wonder if he would like that. Hm I need to ask. 

If kindness would ever be personified, as far as I am aware, that person would definitely be my little Rosebud. No doubt. I have taken a strong liking to him, in the friendly manner that is, and I hope I’m not alone in this. And I definitely hope I can manage to create a lasting friendship between the two of us. Having someone around whom you know probably won’t diminish into nothingness before you yourself do can be comforting from time to time. And who knows, maybe I’ll learn something from him like I’ve learned so much from other’s. Hopefully.
