Fun (actually it's not very fun) story... Some years ago I went and visited my parents house where I grew up. I actually found my old computer in the attic, that I hadn't used since I was 15-16 or so. I was excited to see what it contained. Among it was a bunch of saved memes (remember when memes used to last like a year instead of 15 hours?). I also found AIM chat logs that I decided to look at. I was absolutely shocked by what I saw (I mean, really floored). I was SO ... so.... so..... incredibly negative. I mean, where every word was scathing, hurt, defensive, judgmental, awful. It was absolutely painful to read, BUT, it showed me something really eye opening which was that, I think fairly early on in my life I realized I was like this and I tried everything in my power to do things outside my comfort zone and to force myself to grow past negativity. It really pleased me to see that because it showed me my efforts worked, as currently (and at the age when I visited my parents, maybe 29 or 30), I'm generally very happy, not judgmental.. I do get irritated at some things and I'm not perfect of course, but I would give myself an 8 out of 10 on the carefree/happy/non-judgmental scale. So, all in all was a good, albeit super salty, experience. Edit; I Should probably mention I do reserve quite a bit of judgment (cough* you dont use vim????) in my technical sphere, but this post is mostly referring to personal things.
