If I could give my younger self any advice, it would be to keep a diary!
I sometimes get very nostalgic, which makes me wish I could revisit those memories, but they’re getting blurrier with the years :’( I know I was often so tired from school, so writing would’ve been a big effort, but I still would’ve loved rereading my little stories.
I think I started my first consistent diary in 2014? 2015? So at least I’ve saved 8 years (wow 8 years is a lot now that I think about it!). But how cool would it have been if I could read what I did in 2007?? Very cool.
I just really like writing :)

I understand you so much... I had a diary when I was 16 and I threw it away because I didn't value it at that time... Now I would like to reread it u.u

I feel you, and I'm sorry you're sad :( I threw out so many ballpoint drawings I made when I was supposed to be doing my homework (ages 12-16), I wish I kept them!

Ahh same! I know my mom will read my writings and look at my sketchbooks when I leave them on my desk while I’m away :( So I never feel like I can be completely loose or honest!
