We old folks know what it was like back then and allow for it because we all did it too.
Just keep writing, the ultimate audience is your future self, and you'll appreciate being able to look back on your life.
- chgs 2y agoNo you don’t know what it was like. I’m in my 40s and have a very specific view of what things were like in my teens, or 20s, or even 30s. That view is wrong. Rose tinted Nostalgia glasses are very real.

- A4ET8a8uTh0 2y agoI concur. I recently dug up my old diary from my late teens and while it was fascinating it was also kinda horrifying. The things I cared about were, well, kinda dumb. My thought process was sloppy at best. I can see the kernel of person I am, but it is still a very weird experience.
