Journal Story Of My Life Novelas e Histórias

My desire here is to share my story. My name is Geena. No, not Gina, that would be normal- my parent's weren't normal, so it had to be Geena. These stories, if you have read them up through now, are the story of my strange journey. The earlier stories and the many that follow will make very clear just how un-normal my life is.

She had read it on her phone while Eli ate his pancakes. The third piece was about a woman who had started a textile company in her living room after her husband left with their savings and their car and their mutual friends, and who had built it, over seven years, into something that employed forty people and had been featured in a magazine that had once, in a different life, run a photograph of her husband at a charity gala with his new wife. The piece was six thousand words. It was not sentimental. It was not triumphant in the uncomplicated way of stories that needed their subject to be entirely healed. It simply—told the truth. All of it. The living room and the forty employees and the p

"I feel different." She smiled. "Good." I smiled back, and we stayed up until midnight like always. They wanted to know everything—where we had been, what we had seen. I described the cities, the cliffs, the tiny bars where no one spoke English. I told them about my journal, how I had made it mine—how I had made it ours. They nodded with wide eyes, sitting up straight as if I were narrating a grand tale. But it wasn’t a tale. It was my life.

I was moved beyond words, and after I got pregnant, I refused to have an abortion, even at the threat of my life. When my child was about to be born, they made love on the sofa in my bedroom, thinking that I was asleep. That was when I knew that my child and I were only useful tools for him to save Vivian. I sacrificed my future, only to get a marriage filled with deceit and violence in return. Shaking away the memories in my head, I went back to my bedroom. It was clear that Vivian had an allergic reaction, so I sent the sheets for testing. Because I used my connections to have the process expedited, I got the test results immediately the next day.

At least my secret wasn’t as humiliating for me. “Okay. I wrote a short story in high school, based on my life. It was about a girl who didn’t get along with her parents, and dreamed of having a completely different life. She got along really well with this couple who loved her like their own daughter, and she always wished that this couple could be her parents instead.” I looked at him, expecting him to laugh at me, or to tell me that that was a stupid idea for a story, but he looked like he was interested in what I was saying.

The word “retreat” seemed to hang in the airless room, expanding to fill every molecule of space. A step backward. Not a lunge. Not a threat. A retreat. The foundation of my life, the story I had told myself, my husband, my son, the courts—the story that had allowed me to live with myself for forty-five years—crumbled into dust in the span of a single, shattering sentence.

It was Francine. I gave a nod but tried to maintain a stern face. Alex ran to me and asked, "So are we riding an airplane? " "Yes we are little boy." I said smirking at him and messing up his hair. The sound of horns from the taxi signaled that we were all about to have a major change in our lives. I am Attorney Providence Dalton. Provi to my my closest friends.. Atty. Pro to my colleagues… This is my story.

“No … no I … I want to tell you. It’ll be like free therapy.” We went in the bedroom and laid down together. “I never even told Fletcher any of this, he never knew how bad it was with mom ... sure they met but she was on her best behavior. He didn’t know anything about Jace at all, I don’t think he could have handled it,” I said. Over the next two hours or so, I told him everything, literally my whole sordid life story. He held me, and I felt so safe and just peaceful. I was laying in bed with a man that’s probably killed hundreds of people, and yet he gave me a hopeful feeling about life. How could a normal person understand my life, not judge me for it … they could never.

"Do you wanna talk about it?" She was silent for a second. "Will you listen?" "Of course,I'm here." "He was never a good father. He abandoned my mother and I. I wasn't always like this. My teenage years were just a complete disaster for me. My mom was locked up in a mental asylum, my new grandma was murdered and my stepmother never cared about me. They only needed me when I was to sign some papers. I was all alone, left in my own little shell. I basically cried myself to sleep every night as a teenager. One time, they made a guy approach me intentionally,then he broke me. They made people I trusted turn against me. They made them betrayers. I was always available for their evil scheme until
