Dear Diary,
It has been a week. No new memories have resurfaced and Damon seems distant. Probably because he doesn't know what to think of everything. I keep dropping bombshell after bombshell so I guess I can't be too surprised. Katherine and Stefan left. They didn't disclose their whereabouts and Guiseppe is mad. I thought Damon would be closer to his father. But supposedly since Damon left the war, he dislikes him. Damon sleeps in bed with me every night. The nightmares are fewer and in between as a result. What will happen when they are fully gone? Will he start sleeping in his own room? Emily reminds me of Bonnie. I didn't realize all I would lose by coming back in time. I don't know if I should be thankful for the chance to start fresh or if I should wallow in the life that could have been. Damon tells me that nurses are in high demand. I know it's not running a clinic and being a resident surgeon, but I still have the opportunity to help people. Soldiers. The ball is tonight. Damon hasn't seen my dress. Truthfully, I went for the blue one because I can't help but hope to stir up something in him. My Damon was right. I do like this version of him. He's the same but also different. He's kind and gentle but not just towards me, but the world. The thought of killing makes him nauseous. That's why he left the war. My Damon was also wrong though, because I like every version of him. I like that he's vulnerable while he's also guarded. I like that he's very aware of his sexuality while also not taking advantage of every poor girl that gives him eyes. I don't know, I'm starting to think that he is right. That I am meant to be here.
