I have been writing in a journal on an almost-daily basis since I was 17 years old. This is a record of me going through each entry from the beginning, and commenting on the me from fifteen years ago.

There are sometimes I’m so glad I don’t drink. When I see the vomit, the anger, the money spent, the assholes – I’m very glad. Just one more thing to put me on a superiority trip. It isn’t hard to feel superior to the idiots around me here, though. I’m so lofty sometimes – It’s wild.

Everyone does this, right? You get a little smug inside over some personality facet you have when you see someone else with that same facet but flawed according to your own inner machinations. Man, I hope everyone does that at least a little, otherwise I’m a big fucking asshole.
