on myself, six years ago...

"I find myself feeling so apart from everyone else. I find myself discovering happiness by looking at the shapes of clouds or wearing the same jeans four days in a row. I find myself questioning where I am and what the point is of anything I do. I find myself lying in bed at night, talking to God, and realizing that I hadn't talked to him half as much as I would have liked during the day. Quite frankly, I don't know what to do with myself."

  6. This post made me wish that I had kept a diary when I was younger. Then I would have something to look back on now. xx

  7. That was me about 4 years ago, at your age now. At 18 I was crazily exercising (wish I had the urge now...) and studying and life seemed so rich. Now it's different for me, a more mellow mummy world with writing on the side.

  8. Oh! I love that you wore your jeans 4 days in a row, I still struggle with that. People always give me funny looks if I wear the same pair of jeans too often . . . I have many pairs, but they get so much more comfy if you wear them loads! :)

  9. Those are really sweet words. I have days when I wear a pair of pants a couple of days in a row too.

  10. That's pretty deep for an 18-year old. I believe my journals said things like, "Ooh the cute guy talked to me today." I like yours much more.

  13. Awww, this is beautiful! Like someone else mentioned, its so neat that you were so self-aware, even back then.

    Did you write this in a written journal or online somewhere?

    This makes me want to dig out my old writing from several years back!
