Based on a comment from richaarde in my last entry, I started looking back through my LJ for this date in years passed. I found some truly cringe-worthy stuff, like my use of "gay" as an insult or a c/p of an IM conversation where my then-boyfriend and I joked about child rape. There was also some angsting over the on-again-off-again nature of a stupid past

Things do change as we grow older, no?

They do! For which I will forever be grateful.

Some of my letters and saved im's from my teen years are mortifying. Not because of insults but because of my overall ignorance combined with the absolute hubris I used to also have as a young person.

I'm thankful LJ didn't exist when I was a teen, but I do have old emails and those are completely unreadable to me now. Some of my older LJ stuff, particularly from my early 20s, was pretty rough, too, though, very melodramatic.

Reading the stuff from around a bad breakup I went through makes me want to punch something, because it was a terrible, abusive relationship and the fact that I was so fucking sad when it ended speaks to how god damned brainwashed I was by this toxic person.

My old livejournal posts are horrific but I can't bring myself to get rid of anything. I wish livejournal would have a store that let you buy printed copies of your journal with comments and everything.

I know if I reread mine with any serious intent, I'd want to delete things left and right, which is one reason I stay away. Ugh, younger me, just stop.

A book like that would be really interesting to own, though.
