Raise your hand if you had a diary at any point when you were a kid. *every single person raises hand* Yup, you had a diary at one point in your life, and you remember your younger self pouring out your guts into it, in long, eloquent prose, staining the pages with your teardrops. Was your life crazy and dramatic or what?
But have you ever looked back at those diary entries? Chances are, you'll look back and laugh at how seriously you took life at the time, and how small your problems seem now compared to those more naive and simple times.
Check out these hilarious childhood diary entries that perfectly capture the angst that was your childhood.
