Romeo & Juliet Journal Entry

Dear diary,
Almost nothing can describe the sheer happiness and ecstasy I am going through right now, yet it is almost eclipsed by my sadness and agony.
I have just met the most handsome, most romantic young man I have ever seen! His name is Romeo, and we talked for a while at father's party. He speaks like a poet. We kissed! It was so romantic. Just like the stories Nurse rambles on about. However, my heart was slashed in two, leaving me breathless, when she informed me that he is a Montague, my sworn enemy.
How silly the term "sworn enemy" seems now. I had never actually talked to him or met him, yet because of his last name, I could have easily judged his character as that of a foe, had I not known him. How ridiculous it is, to have enemies. You can conclude that people are unpleasant without really knowing their real character. You will never see their honest, good, G-d-abiding sides because it will be overshadowed by your hatred for one another.
I have never really thought of marriage or love before tonight. It was like something that would happen someday, but that I never truly considered. It makes me laugh to think how mother would by so very upset if she found out! True love does not exist for her!
It is odd how I first attended the party believing that I was to form conclusions on a potential suitor, then fell in love with another. How do I know it's love, you ask? I have never felt these emotions before. It must be love.
I shall have to find someway to see Romeo again.
Juliet
Oh! I hear a noise outside.
