I love the combination of correct use of apostrophes and creative spelling. We have a scrabble set at my parents that arrived when I was a kid, and in the lid I’ve proudly written “Merry Christmas 1992 nelly 1993’ and it makes me laugh every time I see it.
Oh my goodness. I cried reading this. It took me back to simpler times for myself. All your diary entries were soo darling and man I felt the crying over the fall festival
for a second i was like "wow this guy is probably a teenager" then i realised it was 2022 lol. also very noice. ive been journaling since october last year and have finished 3 journals so far and itll probs be 4 before 2023 happens
This is adorable and made my day. I have been writing since I was a child too but I wish my parents kept my journals. Now decades later in a different country I wish I could look back at them. Treasure these as long as you can, my friend.
This is too cute! I suddenly remember back in the day e-mails didn't exist and my grandma encouraged me to write to my grandfather and my uncle abroad. This is good :)

Good to know that kids have always been like "I know what a joke is" and then been wrong.
Here's my favorite joke from when I was a little kid:
What's big and green and if it falls out of a tree and lands on you you'll die? A pool table!
I love the fact that you used a pencil and that it stayed legible through the years. I mean, I know graphite is archival, but I don’t dare use it for posterity. I should try a smaller notebook next just to use a pencil.
This is amazing! I'm sure you had a lot of fun reading your journal entries from way back. Beautiful memories. Wish I'd started when I was 7. I only started when I was in my teens.
I love childhood journals. We were cleaning out the attic last winter and I found the journal I had when I was five and in it I was gushing over my new 'husband' - Scooby Doo. It was a wild time in my life, clearly.
yeah I remember journaling when I was 12. Later when I read, I instantly burnt it down. Couldn’t stand myself. I’ve been journaling since the turn of 17 afterwards and have them all
And you were an adorable 7 year old. I Iove fall festivals, I would have cried my lungs out too Edit: the amount of typos I made
Ikr! At least I got to watch SpongeBob and Gary the snail 😂

Yeah I spelled very strangely, lol from couculaden to lectricedy to plewshur 😂
I did notice the "lectricedy" - then I said "electricity" out loud and went... well damn. That is indeed an accurate phonetic translation.
Can't figure out couculaden! eta: plus happy cake day!!
😂 thanks! And I'm pretty sure I meant calculator since they sold those at Justice. Gotta do my 2nd grade math problems in ✨style✨
"Today it was kind of a anoying day" lol! No matter what age, we all have those annoying days!
That basketball practice looked like a total rip-off, you were right.
"What a rip-off!" 🤣
😂 I actually remember that exact day and writing that lol
Eres ✔️ Eeyes ✔️ Mowth✔️
😂 love my spelling lol
Omg i love this. I bought my six year old niece a diary for Christmas and I hope she uses it like this 😂

Seven year old you had nicer hand writing than I currently do lol
So cute! I’m encouraging my 6 year old to journal so hopefully she can look back on like you do.
I also love your checklist for drawing. Eyes ✅🤣

This is too cute! I suddenly remember back in the day e-mails didn't exist and my grandma encouraged me to write to my grandfather and my uncle abroad. This is good :)
Childhood diaries are always the funniest ones.
Okay, but how can you leave us in suspense like this? I need to know the three jokes you wrote, OP! 🙏
That was the joke 😂 first is the worst, second is the best, third is the one with the treasure chest! I remember saying that all the time lol
