Old Diaries

Before having a blog I used to put all my feelings in diaries. I have one from elementary school, one from middle school, and one from high school. Technically I have four as I also have a failed summer one. For the majority of the book, they are the most hilarious things ever. Especially my elementary one where I spell almost all the words wrong. However even in my later ones there are a lot of spelling mistakes which is just as funny.

I wrote my first one like I was talking to my diary and I would say hello and goodbye and everything which was adorable. The entries were usually a quick recap of my day. My middle school one was more about my feelings about things that were happening to me and my love of twilight *cringe*. However my high school one is obviously the worst to read since I describe things a little bit too well and it makes me remember things I don't want to. I also get kinda deep sometimes and go on about the meaning of things.

However as I was reading through these today I couldn't stop laughing. Especially since I used to go back and write little notes talking to my past self for example I said once that I was going to ask a boy out and there was a little note beside it saying "I didn't do it." I also found it really funny to read it out loud in an obnoxious valley girl voice which made everything sound very teenage girl dramatic and hilarious. There's this one entry in my high school one that was extremely hypocritical where I go off on this rant about something my ex boyfriend did and how pissed off I was at him and I couldn't stop myself from laughing.

I think it's good to look back on things with a lighthearted view. If I had been serious when I read the diaries I probably would have made myself sad but since I took it as a joke, everything was funny. There's the lesson of the day, don't take things too seriously.
