preventing the inevitable forever
Wow. Can’t believe this old thing is still here. I’ve logged in for miscellaneous reasons over the past few years, but for the most part, this journal hasn’t been touched in nine years.
I’ve been nostalgic, so sue me.
Nine years. It’d be an understatement to say that a lot has happened in nine years. From being 17, at the tail end of high school, the earnestness and bliss, and all the melodrama (external and internal) that came with it, to being almost 27, weathered and apathetic, but still trying to navigate through adulthood with my head somewhat intact. It hasn’t been easy, and it wasn’t until I reached my early 20s that I began to learn how depression and anxiety REALLY felt, but after all this time, I’m still here. I may not have accomplished much through the years career-wise, but I’m still standing, with a great deal more knowledge and lessons learned.
I don’t exactly know where I’m going with all this, but I guess I just wanted to come back and pay younger me a visit, and read his words in a new light. God only knows how many times I read my old entries and wished I could travel back and tell myself how fucking dumb I was being. Oh well, you live and you learn.
