Diana Kathrina Leomo is an emotional masochist, born 1985, who likes picking at her wounds by writing about it. The contents of this journal then  are personal opinion and are exhibits on how to wear one’s heart on their sleeves.

There is nothing here which I can tell you which you do not already know. This is a personal journal. The word niche confuses me.

Outside the office window are sounds of the city streets: a coughing of jeep engines, the shaking of a leaf, the long drag of a motorbike from street A to street B. On luckier days, I put my Language and Literature degree to good use by creating advocacy campaigns for the government, in one of the offices of its agency created for social protection and welfare.

In between scratching the keyboard for advocacy campaigns and wondering how to save the world, I sleep somewhere where I can smell the ocean. Sadly, it will never be my city.
