Greetings, my dear journal. Today's the very first day at my brand new job! I've been working very hard to get it and it proves to everyone that I DO have the smarts to get into such a highly coveted place! Take that to everyone who laughed and made a mockery of me over the years! I know it's not really proper or elegant to act like this, but I'm finally on my own for the first time in my life and now I can make the decisions that I want to make!
It's been so cathartic being on my own, I'm in my mid 20's and I was stuck in such a shithole for my whole life, and it's about time I did something about it, and I'm glad my education helped me out as now I'm working as a scientist on an island in the middle of a beautiful city!
Well it's not a really SUPER BIG city...
...Ok, maybe it's not like all the other cities you see in magazines and news articles either, but I'd like to call it a city anyway. It's city-esque.
I wonder if my family misses me, maybe I should have said something before running away, but honestly I think it might've been my smartest decision to not tell them just so they don't track me down and drag me back home to rot away and do nothing all day as they keep track of everything I do.
Apparently, the current mayor of the city is a bio-engineered alien that was created to replace the old mayor who was also a bio-engineered alien that was exactly the same. From what I've been told, there was a large chemical imbalance that had impacted how the mayor moved around and acted, so out of fear of having their society be "imperfect" and "off balance", they got rid of the old mayor and said that my job was to monitor the new mayor and make sure that it acted and followed their strict guidelines (that they so graciously gifted me once I moved here.)
I'm... Already feeling iffy about this whole thing, but as long as I'm not back rotting away at my old home, I think I'll be fine with this... Maybe...
