Oh man, i just re-read some of my diary entries since yr 2000, and its so funny! I don't remember being so emo, sentimental, weird, and drama. I used to write down things that happened everyday, right down to details...Eeeyerrr, now when i read them, i cringe and wonder," What the heck were you thinking, sTUPID!" Why did i do this, why did i do that...It's so embarrassing. But i did get some good out of writing all these things down. I had some interesting things brought back to mind. Here's a poem that i used to like:
Remember - Christina Rossetti
Remember me when i am gone away
Gone far away into the silent land
When you can nomore hold me by the hand
Nor i half turn to go yet turning stay
Remember me when no more day by day
you tell me of our future that you planned
only remember me; You understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray,
yet if you should forget me for a while
and afterwards remember, do not grieve;
for if the darkness and corruption leave
a vestige of thoughts that once i had
better by far you should forget and smile
than - that you remember and be sad.
-i think i wrote this down near to the time where someone dear to me was leaving, and i wasn't sure whether i would ever see that person again. Then i came across this poem that summed up how i felt in a nutshell.
I can't believe i even had plans for my diaries upon my death, where which diary would go to who...Haha. And all the stupid things i did, like sneak out of the house only to get caught, all the weird boyfriends. Man, what was i thinking. Haha, guess i had to learn through all these things to get to where i am now. Which is not that far actually, it was only 6 years ago. Haha, thats why i'm writing here, so i can look back in 6 yrs time, laugh and wonder, "What the hell was i THINKING?!"
alah, it happens la. you should see mine. we could publish a diary when we're through with all this emo-ness and call it Angstifications.
