omg gaiz I found Bastian’s diary!
JK, this is not the diary of a cranky empath. It’s actually a journal I kept at about 6 years old. Note the important instruction to "Keep Clouesed!!" on the cover.
Above we see the early onset of existential exhaustion in the first (and only) actual diary entry ("Der Dirry Today I was not satesfid"). And literal exhaustion, apparently ("Im vare tird”).
Also, apparently I was a Mozart fan.
I don’t really have a takeaway lesson from this other than LOLZ and please always save your childhood artistic endeavors so you can fully appreciate them later in life. 🤣
