Read Me in 20 Years

Description

I just moved and I was going through this old storage box and found a bunch of my old journals.  This entry was a few days before I turned 16, so like 8 years ago.  So amazing, so embarrassing, so hilarious. 

Copied the text as it appeared, and added illustrated commentary as a response.  There's a lot I could say about this, but I think it's better to just let people have their own associations, when possible!

coming back to deviant art after years of inactivity, looking through my watch list and sorting through the artists I followed and the works I favorited, found this, and started crying - I don't have any journal entries to look back on, but I do have a lot of myself, my old self, anyway, scattered across various webpages in the form of comments, replies, posts, etc. I can carbon-date eras of my life based on what fandoms I was into, and looking back at my old accounts gives me a feeling exactly like the feeling this comic conveys. Very nostalgic in a bittersweet kinda way - I hope you're doing well <3
