<p>And what an adventure it is. I was so insecure! I just want to go back in time, hug my younger self, and assure her that she’s much more competent, attractive and popular than she ever thought she was.</p>
<p>Anyone else ever do this??</p>
<p>(I’ve also discovered, through googling, that two former boyfriends whom I was seeing during that time have passed away. :eek:)</p>
<p>You should post this on the “college life” section of this board.</p>
<p>Very Happy - that’s so sweet.</p>
<p>I am glad I did not keep a diary. It gives me deniability that I ever was that uncool! I warn the kids nowadays not to leave so much digital fingerprint with FB, twitter and so on. Someday they will wince at all they posted. I read an article of a writer/blogger who read his FB timeline over the past 9 years and he wrote that he would unfriend himself if he could!</p>
<p>I don’t have a journal, but my mother saved all the letters I wrote home in college and grad school (they’re now in my possession). We also have all the letters DH and I wrote to each other while we were in grad/professional school (we weren’t married yet). I haven’t read them in ages, but it would be interesting to see what was important to us back then and how we handled things.</p>
<p>I only wish I could! My mother destroyed any journals, letters, etc she could get her hands on. She denies it but I know she did - in her view she was trying to “protect” me from unflattering things I had written down about other people.</p>
