Found my old diary from when I was 9 and realized I've had the same exact worry 4,000 times
I counted 137 entries in that thing and every single one was me stressing about being picked last in gym at Roosevelt Elementary, which is wild because I'm 34 now and last week I turned down a pickup basketball game with the same knot in my stomach, so I'm curious if anyone else has found an old journal and seen the same fear staring back at them decades later.

137 entries about getting picked last at Roosevelt Elementary is genuinely insane, like that's not a normal amount of times to write about one thing as a kid. I'm sitting here trying to remember if I even had a single worry that consistent back then, and honestly I don't think my brain could hold onto one fear that long without finding something new to panic about. The part that gets me is the knot coming back at 34, because that means the diary wasn't even exaggerating, it was just early.
