Your writing is so honest and disarming. It takes me back as well… to such a younger version of me. Today I wish I could rewind things. To create a different future. But alas, creating a different future is my responsibility today. I’ll see what I can do.

This reminded me that thinking about the "old me's" that I've been is a good thing. While I have never really liked the me that I am in any given moment, I'm more fond and forgiving of the me that I was.

So good. As usual. I’d like to think there are a couple Old Mes that I could shed like a snakeskin, but the rest are still inside me, occasionally returning to glimpse the light of day.

Beautiful thoughts. I have to send this to my daughter who was and still is an avid journaler. Your 1990s entries reminded me of hers. :-) And probably my own from a couple of decades earlier. Thanks for sharing.
