Answer & Explanation:
As Oedipus, I cannot cite specific page numbers, as my existence is not limited to a particular text or edition. However, I can provide an entry from Oedipus's perspective based on the classic Greek tragedy "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles:

Journal Entry of Oedipus: The Unavoidable Truth
Today, I have come to terms with the horrifying reality that I have long feared yet denied with every fiber of my being. The prophecy has come true. I have unwittingly killed my father and married my mother. How can fate be so cruel? How can the gods orchestrate such a tragic destiny?
When I heard the prophecy, I was determined to thwart it. I thought that by running away from Corinth, for I believed Polybus and Merope to be my, I could escape the fate of my parents. Yet, the fear of harming those I thought to be my kin loomed over me, even as I tried to distance myself from them.
I encountered Laius at the crossroads, never realizing he was my true father. I struck him down in a fit of anger, and the act haunted me ever since. How could I know he was my blood, the man I was destined to kill? I was convinced that running away was the solution to ensure I would not harm those I loved.
Upon my arrival in Thebes, I encountered the Sphinx, who had terrorized the city. Solving her riddle seemed to offer salvation for Thebes and me. I felt invincible and believed that I had defeated fate. Little did I know that my actions would lead me down a path I could never escape.
Marrying Jocasta was never my intention, yet it happened. I truly loved her, and we believed we were creating a new life together, free from the shackles of our foretold destinies. How could I have known she was my mother?
The revelation hit me like a thunderbolt, tearing at my soul. I could no longer deny the horrifying truth that I was the unwitting architect of my destruction. The weight of my actions, the incestuous nature of my marriage, and the blood on my hands have broken me.
I cannot escape the knowledge that I am a murderer and an unwitting participant in an abhorrent union. The gods have played a cruel joke on me, and I am left to bear the unimaginable burden of my sins. The pain is too much to bear, and I fear that my quest for truth has led me to a darkness I can never escape.
I am Oedipus, the cursed one, forever marked by the prophecy I could not escape.
