Alejandro

What has become of my life?- a series 💰💰🪙🪙 ×× dear diary, today, the 14th of April 1702, I'm writing you because I have to say something that has been bothering me for a while. I need to take it off my chest. They don't allow women like us on board. "You're too soft and fragile," they said. "them" being men, of course. pirates, to be exact. I want to be on a ship soooo bad... to feel the wooden deck under my feet, the sea-wind in my hair, to hear the sound of the waves crashing at the front of the boat, everything is so.. magical, so exciting, about being a pirate. but I can’t be one, I'm not allowed to. a woman's purpose is to marry into a descent family and give her husband an heir, not to follow her ambitions and travel the world to explore the secrets that it hides..... sigh, I wish I was a man. You know what? I might not be a man, but I can trick them into thinking I am. hmm, which persona should I take... how about... a cleaner boy! I'll cut my hair, wear baggy clothes and smudge some mud on my face to hide my features: a perfect disguise! okay okay, I gotta go and start with my plan. I can't wait for it to work! talk to you later, my diary!! yours truly, Daniel ×× ((the second day: getting to know the crew)) goodness, yesterday was soooo tiring. I met with captain Matthias who turned out to be completely different from what I was expecting. he doesn't drink, he works all the time in maps and such, and he barely steps out of his office. you know, I feel like he treats me differently from others, I wonder why. anyhow, I had to sleep in the same room as fourty sweaty disgusting men. do you believe that? it was horrible, but I learnt a lot of new vocabulary like "Grog" which means diluted Rum, and "Bilge" that means nonsense (yes, this really is all they talk about). today I decided to try to get to know the crew better, so I'll try talking to the man named Alejandro, the captain's right hand man. let's see how it goes, wish me luck again, I need it!
