past

Oh man, it is so amusing going back and reading my journals from high school. For a multitude of reasons, including but not limited to:

1) I do not remember a lot of the stuff I talk about. Apparently I talked to boys a lot more than I recall, and...um...wrassled with them more than I recall as well. Not in a dirty way! Just flirtatious 14-16 year old stuff.

2) I've had the EXACT SAME PROBLEMS with boys starting with my first boyfriend at 14. None of them know how to call on time, apparently, and they all try to tell me they love me waaaay too soon. OR they act totally into me, even tell me they like me, but won't date me. Losers!

3) I apparently thought I had something "really special" with every single boy I have ever dated or had a crush on. Apparently I've had like....17 million soulmates. Awesome.

4) I was RIDICULOUSLY BOY CRAZY, omg. If you think I talk about the boys I'm into a lot now? I ain't got NOTHIN' on myself at 14, holeeeeeeey sheet.

5) I very frequently fancied myself a poet, except that I sucked. I mean, everyone's poetry sucked in high school, obviously, it's high school, but it's just so cringe worthy to read myself getting all "deep".

6) I used to use sooo muuuuuch fangirl Japanese, lol -_-;

Did all y'all ever journal? Ever go back and read your old journals for the lulz? I used to read my later journals (late high school, early college) for insight, but Jr. High and early High School are just kind of lolarious.

Yes, unfortunately.

Some of my entries from my 13-14 year old self are pretty nonsense, but a lot of them are bitchy whining. (Much like now....ahem. haha.) I would erase them, but I like to see the progress i've made. haha.

I don't take you as "boy crazy." Then again, I started crushing on boys when I was five.....haha.

I definitely wrote A LOT of nonsense, especially from like 11-13. I don't even like reading those ones anymore because I was just so ridiculous, lol. But it is interesting to see progress, and see the things that haven't changed. You should never erase old entries! They're a piece of your personal history, and that's invaluable.

Ha ha, you haven't been around me in person lately to see the "boy crazy". And I think you didn't end up on the boy crazy friends filter I set up...I added you though, lol.

And I got my first crush on a boy at 5 too :D
