Ever since the Pines twins came to Gravity Falls Dipper has felt like there were eyes glued onto his very being. He didn't feel save awake or asleep and he decided that it might help writing everything that happened that summer down in a journal of his own. But the writing only does so much. With his dreams invaded by a shrouded figure and his days bullied by his Grunkle, Dipper's patience is wearing thin and he might just snap at the worst possible time./p

p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"I've always been called paranoid by my twin sister Mabel, even before we came to Gravity Falls for the summer and this whole mess started./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"Ever since I was young — well, younger — I've always been a fairly a cautious person. I didn't enjoy playing sports (because I could get broken forever), and I could never really connect with my peers, so it was always just me and Mabel. We'd play together all the time, but Mabel had other friends she could play with while I was… well, mostly alone. That is, of course, unless you count all the books that kept me company during recess and my increasing bouts of insomnia./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"So instead of actually risking my life to go on amazing adventures, I'd experience them through books and movies. I did this not simply because I had no one to adventure with besides Mabel, but because I realized early on that I was incredibly… well I guess you could say, "sensitive" or, er, easily influenced by my environment — which was effectively proven by mine and Mabel's stay with our Grunkle Stan./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"Back home where everything was routine and considered normal, I would never dream of exploring the woods with little to no back up. But when I found the journal that first week in Oregon, it was like I was placed under a spell. I began to break out of my shell little by little and took more and more risks to understand the supernatural beings and occurrences that surrounded the sleepy town of Gravity Falls./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"I'm not entirely sure of the exact date when this all began; shortly after I found the journal is the closest I could probably say. Now you must be wondering what I'm talking about. Well, like I stated before, I've always been called paranoid by my sister... not to mention my parents and classmates and teachers... Anyways, I've been called paranoid (and many other things) by these people since I can remember and coming to Gravity Falls has only increased the teasing from not only Mabel, but Grunkle Stan — who practically made a sport out of tormenting me./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"You may be curious as to why my paranoia - and anxiety - has increased tenfold since coming here this summer, and I'm going to tell you./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"No, it's not because of the journal./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"Or the fact that I'm teenage boy who kind of has a one sided crush on a girl who (hopefully only at the moment) saw me as a little brother. Though that could play some part into it, instead, it was much worse./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"Ever since I came to Gravity Falls with Mabel I've felt like— like— something was watching me… No matter where I was, I could feel someone —or something— watching my every move. From waking up in the morning, to stripping down for bed, I felt the stare trained on my being. Hell, it didn't even stop when I went into the bathroom or showered (which made my already poor hygiene become even worse.)/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"All I can really say is that I've been at my Grunkle's for a little over two weeks, and so far I already have a sour taste in my mouth from my constant worrying. It doesn't help that Mabel was almost made queen of the gnomes (and that we nearly died when I went to save her). I know that Mabel's boy crazy but if she attracts any more supernatural creatures, I'm going to freak out. Gnomes are bad enough, but what if she starts dating a vampire or a zombie? I don't even want to think about it./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"It's hard to believe that I've been here for two weeks and I can already feel myself slipping./p

p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"My paranoia./p

p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"Truthfully… I'm falling and unlike Mabel, I don't have a grappling hook to save me from crashing./p
