Out of boredom, I open up an old novel I was writing at the age of 13. I remember thinking I was a brilliant writer, This book is publishing material. I read it today and Cringe At Every Word. Filled with teenage angst, raging hormones and everything in between. Why did I think this passed, For writing?! Well at least I improved. But I don't like the fact that, In few years, I will cringe at writing I did today. Hell, I was reading a poem I wrote last year, It became trending, And I think "how?" Is this even worthy for a like? Well, I can say I grew.

I wish it was a paper manuscript so I can burn it :P
