Dearest Journal,

Although almost two weeks have passed my mind still returns to Mr. Lukeson. One thing was clear from our conversation, he needs a friend. Perhaps I shall write to him and provide him with a listening ear. If I can’t make my own life happy, perhaps I can make another’s happier than my own.

I believe I shall write him. It will do no harm, and perhaps it shall bring solace to my own situation to have such a friend.
