Before:
Dear Diary,
I am feeling so worried and anxious today. My best friend has been hospitalized and I can't help but feel a sense of helplessness. I don't know what's wrong with her, and I don't know how to help. I keep replaying our last conversation over and over in my head, wondering if I missed any signs that something was wrong. I want to be there for her, but all I can do right now is wait and hope for the best. I hope she will recover soon and that everything will be alright.
After:
Dear Diary,
Today has been an emotional rollercoaster. I visited my best friend in the hospital, and it was such a relief to see her smiling and talking. She's not out of the woods yet, but seeing her like that gave me so much hope. It was hard to see her hooked up to all those machines and IVs, but it was also a reminder of how strong and resilient she is. I can't believe how much my perspective has changed since yesterday. I was so worried and scared, and now I feel a sense of gratitude for every little thing. I am just so thankful that my friend is still with us and that she's fighting so hard. I know that the road to recovery will be long, but I'm ready to be there for her every step of the way.
