Old diary entries

JULY 13 1994
DEAR DIARY.
TODAY I GOT A BABY BROTHER. I THINK HE IS CUTE BUT I'M AFRAID TO TELL ZANDRA.
GOODBYE DIARY. I LIKE YOU. HOPE YOU LIKE ME TOO.

I never kept a journal, but this was written two days after I was born! My brother was 15 when I was born, so I imagine if he kept a journal, it wouldn't have been as cute as this 🙁
 
God I wish I knew where one of my old diaries was to quote some of the awful stuff I used to write.

But on this note... A few years ago for Christmas, my sister got me this book full of journal/diary entries people had written as children. It was SO funny and interesting... I forgot what it's called and can't find it... but it was wonderful. Reading it, I realized that it is literally impossible to keep a diary and not sound like an idiot. I don't care what age you are... I don't care what serious issues you're writing about... reading it back years later, you're ALWAYS going to sound stupid.

For example: this was a segment of something I wrote in class while not paying attention to my teacher a few semesters ago. he was talking about thinking about who we thought was the "most enlightened person in the class." We were supposed to think about this subject all semester and then write an essay on it as part of our exam. This was some ranting I was doing while thinking of how to write this essay

I honestly still think I'm the most open minded person in the class. I feel like that's arrogant... but I assume everyone here is closed minded and stupid unless proven otherwise... and no one in the class has proved otherwise to me. So that's the way it goes.

That was written about a year and a half ago... but reading it back, I still feel like an idiot. And a douchebag... But that's besides the point. (Especially since I was the most enlightened person in that class....)
 
I never kept a diary. It always seemed a bit silly to write down your innermost thoughts so people could find it. I found my sister's diary and read through it a couple of times which made me think twice before ever doing the same so my brother could read it.
 
Then I drew myself hiding behind a tree. Oh, I love little me.

I also wrote a lot about cats, and my book buddy Nicole and how I would miss her....

Hahaha! Awww! I love little you too! 😀
