Last night I was looking for my old notebooks from computer school and I found an old diary that I kept when I was 19. I was such a freakin idiot!
Back then, I thought I had a long term relationship with this guy but looking back, it was really just a string of one night stands. I was totally clingy and needy and he pushed me away, taking days to call me, not acknowledging things like Valentine's Day and our anniversary, cheated on me. But I persisted. Waaaah I love you so much why do you hurt me again and again waaaaaah.
But I would never have listened anyone tell me how pathetic I was. As a matter of fact, I had written that... That 'someone' (I didn't specify who, but whoever they were, they were a lot smarter than I was) had asked me if it was really worth persuing a relationship with this guy who treated me like crap. I probably thought they were crazy. Or just old.
I was embarrassed to read it, right up till the point I threw it in the garbage. It's whacked the way you remember things and then years later look back on them and have a completely different outlook. I'll probably be saying the same thing in another 12 years. It's just the way they say, hindsight is 20/20.
This is probably a question for the older folks, but have you ever looked back on your younger years and realized how clueless you were? What about?
