(if: visits is 1)[Dear diary,
Today was an uneventful day. Realized I've forgotten to water the plants for a while, so gave them all a lot and hope they will survive. Had that strange dream again, with the room and the door. Wonder if it means anything.] (if: visits is 2)[Dear diary,
Mom called today. She misses me, but for some reason I just feel annoyed when she calls, even if I miss her too. Had the dream again. Maybe it's connected, somehow.] (if: visits is 3)[Dear diary,

I decided on something. I'm gonna write my mom a letter. I still struggle to talk to her on the phone, but I think writing out everything will be good. I'm starting to feel better about it all.
Oh, and I think I'm not gonna have that dream anymore. I feel like it finally got a nice ending.]
