Last night, on a whim, I decided to start
Jul. 11th, 2013 10:25 amLast night, on a whim, I decided to start going through some of my old journal entries on LiveJournal. I picked 2004, and started reading from the beginning of the year.
It's hard to believe how different of a person I was back then. I was so childish and irresponsible back then, and spent money like there was no tomorrow. Like any 20-something, I thought I knew everything and refused to listen. I can see how I was struggling to define myself, which wasn't easy at the time. Not to mention that I'd forgotten how awful a year 2004 was for me, as it was where my world seemed to come together for one brief and bright moment, and then completely fell apart.
Sometimes I wonder why I've kept my LJ for so long. There are times I've been tempted to delete it, but I'm glad I never did. It's more than 10 years old now, and covers so much of my life. Going through old posts is like sitting down with an old friend and reminiscing about the joys and sorrows of yesteryear. I never kept a diary or journal before I started my LJ back in '03, and now I kind of wish I had just so I could see were I was and what I was like 15, 20 years ago.
I wonder what it will be like to read this 10 years from now? I guess I'll just have to wait and find out.
