I use to have a journal I wrote in. I actually still have it, and you're absolutely right. It's very entertaining to read what we wrote about when we were younger. I came across it a few months back, and actually blogged about it. I'm risking embarrassment, and linking you to the post. Give it a read if you ever need a laugh...or, you know...need help falling asleep. http://hermondayeyes.tumblr.com/post/112687975/...

sometimes i feel like i've lost a lot of my feelings (or the ability to express them) as i grew up. i have notebooks since i was 15 in which i write almost whatever comes to my mind. what i wrote back then is so different from the things i have to say now. i guess when you grow up you get used to things and you understand or see life in a different way. that shouldn't necesarily mean that your feelings are less intense, but i sure miss some things from the "past". i had so much to say and now things are easier to understand and accept. but well, i guess that's the good part, i'm happier haha. soooo, yep, you're completely right. (sorry if my english is too bad haha =) )

Truer words were never spoken- heck, I'm 22 years old and I STILL don't think I've reached the age where I've stopped growing up. You think you have everything figured out and then life comes at you again with another giant curve ball that makes you wonder if you'll ever be 'grown-up' enough to...well...understand everything. But that's sort of getting off topic.
I kept a journal when I was in high school, too. They're definitely fun to read from time to time now that I'm older but I catch myself cringing at some of the stuff I wrote about.- I'm sure you probably cringe at some of your old entries, too though, right?
Rambling is good. I like to ramble, too- which is probably why I feel like I always leave you comments that are WAY too long. Oh well, I figure as a fellow rambler, you'll be able to deal. ;)

i suppose growing up does kinda suck. it gives you all the events to prepare yourself for the "adult world". and most events are horrible but there are definitely good times from it. :) Thanks for your ramble. i like reading what you have to say

I had one of those cheesy online blogs when I was 15, and it surprises me to look back at it. Even though it's only been five years, I feel like I had much more intellectual things to say back then. I spoke as if I knew what I was saying, and some of it sounded very heartfelt and deep.
I had a blogger a few months back, and I found myself lacking anything interesting to say, so I deleted it. It's weird to think that I was once so profound when I was younger as opposed to now. I think it might have to do with me growing older and more cynical (although I'd like to think of it as more "realistic.") It's funny - I was a pretty happy kid. Now I'm a somewhat boring older person, haha. I guess it just depends on the person.
I don't know why I was compelled to write this. But have a nice day, Dan.

I like reading your blog :D
But I do have to agree with you, growing up does suck. It's a big mess of awkwardness and confusion. I'm 18 and it still sucks. My old journals are just...embarrasing, though. I wrote about the dumbest things.

i've read through the journals i had when i was younger recently...and i had some interesting times in my live. i'll just leave it at that.
and although i like gaining experience, knowledge, (certain) responsibilities, and having (different types of) fun, i still agree with you-- growing up kinda really sucks.
and i love your ramblings. a lot. haha. :]
