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.

When you say everything you know that is right in your mind, the world is so much clearer and brighter. You know that you will always win no matter who or how many you’re against. When you speak with the right on your side, the people fall into place. Give me the enthusiasm to continue to fight the evil. I have strength unknown to many, held deep inside, hiding, lurking & waiting.

I found a loose piece of paper on the ground today, and written on it was someone’s note to themselves, saying how strong and amazing they are. Are these pump up notes something common that we all do, especially when we’re young?
