It's April 2008, and you're in my digital diary (.txt document)
Sixteen years ago, I was sixteen years old, and a cute lil mess.
These entries were taken directly from a .txt document on an old hard drive originally shared on my Myspace from late 2007 to summer 2008. (taking recycling content to a new level). I’ve edited this very minimally for clarity and with my digital footprint in mind ;), adding pictures & context here n’ there. I feel like this at least half-answers the “but what do I even journal about?!?!?” question that I cannot avoid, am happy to talk about, but sometimes stumped to answer. Your entries don’t have to be prolific, and just like audiobooks are reading, documenting digitally is still journaling. Channel your inner teenager. Be a little self-absorbed, whiny, and free.
Please enjoy this mess — and definitely check out the footnotes — while I spend some more time in my drafts on upcoming newsletters & projects! - cb
