Two things happen when I read old entries (mostly from high school, I have probably posted once every two months on average since 2005): I go "ha! that's pretty funny, good memories" and "holy shit I was a freakin IDIOT!". It's also fun to show people the idiot posts and see some reactions... I think I'll go on a nostalgia binge for a few minutes. Thanks for the reminder! | ||

From memory, I was an asshole until about 7th grade By reading my diaries that I've been keeping for like 7 years now, I can't really tell that I've changed that much which is rather surprising. By this I mean that were I, in my current capacity, placed in a situation in the past, I'm not sure if I would have reacted too differently. | ||

I think one of the main things is that I always expected to know more things about the world by now. | ||

Now, I'm not so sure that I am right, that the world is right, or if I really do have an impact on the world. Paradoxically, I am more confident in my ability to improve my own life. The net effect is a certain sense of apathy. This actually kind of sums up my differences as well. Could easily have been my own words, if I had managed to put my thoughts properly into words  | ||

When your legitimate thoughts make people think you're trolling, something's gotta be changed. | ||

The internet was a place of learning that I managed to build semi-well known personalities on a variety of websites. It feels like such a shame that I've spent so much time on it and yet it is completely unusable. If someone asks me what I've been doing the last decade, I can't really answer because most of the stuff I did was done by an internet personality. That makes me look rather empty and unlived. Sometimes it is funny when people think I'm smart, because they've never seen all the mistakes I made to get this way. | ||

 i used to think that if you constantly thought of something, it would eventually come true ... i used to think that putting my finger into the electricity sockets would transform me into a super saiyan ... i used to think that my parents would never find out about me browsing porn, but one day my dad was like "lol son there's a thing called Temporary Files" ... yes i've grown up | ||

This journal has been deleted and purged. So, yeah. I was around 18 or so I think and I was probably just a whiny little shit. | ||

I don't find that to be a problem my thoughts were just dumb on their own at times, and i posted without thinking... compared with thinking for about 2 seconds now before jamming post | ||

So likely in another few years I'll look back on me today and think "wow I was dumb." THE CYCLE CONTINUES | ||

Yet back then I would look back on things even a few years before that and thought the same thing. So likely in another few years I'll look back on me today and think "wow I was dumb." THE CYCLE CONTINUES Pretty much exactly this. I feel like my (social) growth lags behind my age by about 2 years permanently, leaving me generally socially awkward all the time. It's really frustrating. (though I think I might've finally gotten out of the cycle by becoming antisocial. one way to do it, right?)

I still think I'm the shit, but I no longer think my 16-year-old self is the shit. edit: I know the cycle isn't going to stop. The best proof I have that time travel isn't possible is that my future self still hasn't kicked my ass for screwing up his life | ||

THE CYCLE CONTINUES At some point your cognitive abilities will begin to decline and you'll think 'damn, I used to be able to learn new things' when trying to figure out how to operate the robomaid. You may continue to gain life experience, but you'll also forget experiences and simply become a gelatinous blob that struggles to adapt to each new challenge, whether it be remembering to flush the toilet, or taking up a hobby you thought you used to be good at. If my parents are any indication, anyway. | ||

That, or else I suddenly started to think my posts and humour in general (in that IRL thing) have gotten a lot wittier.. | ||
