Chapter Text
Day 104 –
Hey! It’s been a while, sorry for not updating.
Things have been going great around the Haven. Harriet and I were able to move into one of the larger tents available so we moved all of our belongings over. We’re next to Gally, which is both a blessing and a curse – a blessing when he stays with Brenda and a curse literally any other time.
Newt and Thomas have been great – they’ve gotten their own tent now that Frypan and Minho have moved out with others as well.
The Haven has been running smoothly. For a while, people were switching around jobs, finding new interests and expanding. I’m still in the Med Hut, but Jonah left to start working with the builders. In exchange, Emma joined us, which has been nice.
Newt and I still keep our shifts together though. It’s nice to have time to catch up with each other. I guess, perhaps that’s why I haven’t written as much anymore. It’s gotten easier to talk to Harriet about the past when I need to, and when she isn’t around – Newt is always there to listen, but it’s not even about that anymore. I realize I no longer need to talk about it. My focus has been set more on the future. Opportunities and ideas Harriet and I have for a life together are all that fill our conversations now.
It’s nice to feel like this – to have hope.
I think that maybe one day, it could lead to something solid. It’s already begun to, as far as I’m concerned.
Harriet and I worked together to make me a ring to match hers. Brenda made a joke about making a ceremony over it like in that book they read all those weeks ago, but I don’t think she was serious.
Although it would explain the whispering Newt and her have been doing lately…
Well, anyway, I just wanted to write to say that I haven’t forgotten about updating. I haven’t forgotten about much of anything anymore. It’s no longer about the fear of forgetting, but the joy in wondering instead. My focus is on what could be. What’s done is done, and I realize that I can’t change that. But what I can do, is take action for a future. And that’s what I’m going to start doing.
