Looking back at things from a few years ago...
...makes me want to shoot myself.
I was going through some old stuff I'd written when I was younger (fanfics and whatnot). God, I want to shoot myself. What was going through my head when I wrote that? xD
Worst when I started looking at some stuff I'd posted in a forum when I was 13 (in 2003). Eeeeee, it's the worst. XD
Does anyone else feel this way reading back on old stuff?
All the time.
But like Rae said, you only grow from it~! It's nice to see your "progress".

Yeah sometimes. I end up facepalming at some of the things I'd written around the interwebs.
I like it when I look back at the drawings I did however. I can see how much my style has changed.
Most of the time though, I often wonder what on earth was going through my head at that time 🤣
Oh yes, I really want to shoot myself but most of the time, I just laugh because it's so darn funny. 😀
I think we should get examples! :3

xD I would never post examples. Too embarassing!!!
Maybe I should post this one Zelda fanfic I wrote back when I was 11... it's still online somewhere. Eeeeee, I was dying while reading it. Could hardly get past one chapter.
I really don't have much to be shamed of.
I skipped being retarded while other 12-year-olds
were trying to act mature because they were adults,
so I didn't end up writing anything ridiculous in attempt
to sound like something I wasn't.
I didn't have trouble with self-esteem or anything, so
no swanking with nothing.
I wasn't that romantic that I would've written any stories
or anything, so there isn't any material to hide in the
closet. I must say that I am rather proud of the
child version of myself.
I was a kool kid and still am at heart.
I think I admire the kind of person I was and am surprised and dismayed at the kind of person I have become....regression is no myth, I tell ya..I behaved like a bit of an adult as a kid, and now as an adult, I am more of a kid than I ever thought I would be...desperation and reality can really bring out the worst in you..just look at those American Idol auditions!
But there are some subtle differences, that I can sense at the back of my mind, that I am happy about..I am still neurotic about some things but not as critical and harsh to myself as I was....In the long run, it might prove a big hindrance to being successful but being masochistic is no joy.. I would rather be happy and poor than rich and stricken in all maladies, but then again, it s***s bein the underdog.........one needs pride to live on...

At thirteen, I was pledging my love for a 2-D character. Good thing that forum died so there is no trace of such disgusting behavior. I still remember thinking I that I was mature....pfft. I was just another crazed fan-girl.

I wrote stupid things when I was little. It's part of learning to write (I just laugh at my old work. It's cute). But then I never wrote fanfic.
My life as it is now is very different from a few years ago. I can't quite compare the two.

Well, I never wrote fanfic...skipped straight to my own fantasy world. And when I look at old stuff, all that happens is that the entire plot (as far as I had figured) comes rushing back and I end up rewriting it. So, while I won't show anyone else my old writing (more because I don't want them comparing old details to new ones or getting confused), I find them more of a help than an embarassment.
I am a breath of insanity in a world of chaos.

I am surprised at what I used to post online.
It's like.. "I wrote that? XD" >_>
The comments I posted when I was younger would cause debates and yeah.. I wish I can just delete them all!
When I use to write stories, I'd show all my friends and wanted good critiques and etc. I'd be too embarrassed right now to show any of my works. 😢
