Mortified Nation
I've written in some form of journal for over 10 years. As someone who is not very vocal with her feelings, it's my one true, uncensored emotional outlet that continues to bring me catharsis even today as a 24 year old. It's my one place to turn, and I am very grateful to have it. 547
And thanks to the wonders of The Internet™ and online journaling communities, I've gotten to meet some great people who I truly love and am happy to call my friends. Shout out to them, 'cause I adore 'em.
But I am just so glad that Mortified exists. This documentary about it and the kinds of people who participate by reading their old diary entries in front of a live audience is funny, touching, relatable, and honestly just a delight to watch. If this doesn't make you smile and reminisce about your own awkward adolescence at least once, lemme get a blood sample from you 'cause I don't think you're human.
