Recently I was inspired to take out my old diary. I was never really consistent with the entries and wrote sporadically. I'm obviously not going to use this post to explain my life story or anything because if I haven't told you then you shouldn't know. And only I need to know the stuff I wrote in my diary. I can tell where I started developing sarcasm from my diary entries which is pretty amusing. My first attempts at sarcasm were pretty fail. I drew things once in a while and they were really bad but looking back at them makes me laugh. Most of my diary entries are in pencil, and I can see the spots that I went back and corrected my past self's grammar the last time I looked at it. I think I was a pretty dull person when I was younger, I have an entry two sentences long saying that I played video games all day and finished a report or something. I was also very vague in a lot of my entries for some reason which I now regret. I saw where my aunt and uncle gave me CDs for my birthday and I don't know which ones they were even though I would really like to know. The two most recent entries I have in my diary were pretty strange to look back on. Things have changed a lot in a little less than a year. Those entries were pretty angry, but almost everything I was angry about at the time don't make me mad anymore. With 33 sentences that start with "I hate that" I sure ranted a lot. I don't recall any memories, but the emotions at that time I do remember. I know at the time what was happening sucked, but I made it through and I feel like I emerged victorious over my old perspective on life.
So during this post I had this song in my head from Mulan. It is relevant because it's called "Reflection" so don't go thinking this is totally ADD. It's only a little ADD.
I'm glad you're happier now ^_^
ReplyDeleteI love that song.
I'm glad that you're happier now, too. I never kept a diary although I really should have. It would've helped me A LOT with several situations in my life. It's frowned upon in my family (and maybe even my culture)to do so. They're pretty big on not airing your dirty laundry, even to a book. Besides,how would I have hidden it from Mom?
ReplyDeletePerhaps I would've been a more normal person today.
That's topic to rant about #3 (or 4).
