Diary entry
I became a samurai because my father was one himself. I think it is a harsh life. I am being told when, how, to what extent, I'm told everything. Seems like I have no mind of my own. Its hard not doing things the way I want them. People rely on me to protect them. So much responsibility in one job.. But, I guess that is okay.
