Julianne Neal as Gertrude

Dearest Diary,

After witnessing this play which portrayed similar events that occurred in my life, I began to feel a little sense of guilt. It made me think I was a bad person from what I did. If I knew the decisions I made would have escalated the way it did, I might have made better decisions.

I wish I knew how to make things better between Hamlet and I. I wish him and Ophelia would marry one another. She’s such a sweetheart.

I wish things did not turn out to the way things are now. Maybe I should put my charm and graceful ways to better things instead of being so manipulative towards men and cut back on my skimming days, since it did nothing but harm to not only my life but to the lives as well. Although it is so addicting and easy to manipulate guys to get them to do anything I want them to do.

People see me as someone who has a low education, which I do, but I’m a type of person who is more street smart than book smart. Which is probably where Hamlet thought of his great ideas about that play of his. And I can’t believe that play actually got to me! I guess he learns from the best.

I just wished everything could have turned out different than this because I do not like the life I now live because it is not the way I planned it to be.
