Dear Diary,

So we didn't talk today.

This big difference is that I'm not upset about that.

I know he cares about me and he told me that he would be busy today as well.

He probably won't be able to talk much tomorrow either, since it's Easter.

That's fine.

I know I can't be the centre of his world, and he does have a life apart from me.

I feel really happy at the moment because I know he will always be there for me.

The only thing going wrong in my life at the moment is my mum.

She doesn't understand me, although she thinks she does.

She says she remembers what it was like to be a teenager but I don't think she realises that being a teenager back then is completely different from being a teenager now.

I need more freedom and she isn't willing to give it to me.

I want to go out with my friends and be able to talk to guys without her feeling the need to do police checks in their families and meeting their parents before I can even go to their house.

It's so frustrating and I've told her this so many times and her excuse is that I'm still young and that she does it because she loves me.

Yeah I get it, she's being protective but I think she's going a little too over the top about this whole situation.
