March, 1933: Create your World

Live your dreams. Suffer, make mistakes, give, lose. Love will come to you. Life will open up to you through adventure, travel.

This entry of the Diary ends on the eve of Anais Nin's father's return. At this stage of her life, she is 30 years old and no longer needs a father. She has spent the last 20 years or so creating her life, trying to make herself interesting, developing her charms and skills as a writer, so that she can woo him back. She still feels that her father left the family because he was disappointed in Anais and didn't want her.

It is amazing how much time and effort we spend trying to fix things we have created in our own minds.
