why did you feel like a piece of garbage in 2007?
i'm not sure. in fact i don't know if i did. and it certainly wasn't for the whole year. just a particular page which was randomly selected during a 2015 vine writing session, which looked like many of the things you might find in the notebook section, except it was terrible. not good, no value, no creativity, and clearly very unhappy. not good.  so the vine i wrote to reflect that was "hello, i'm a piece of garbage". a few random picks later i randomly happened upon another page, from the next day, in 2007. total coincidence. this page was also garbage, in a similar fasion. i was puzzled for a moment because the vine-writing system i was using was supposed to take me to random places in the journals but it just brought me to the exact same situation twice in a row. then i realized the best option was to write a repeat of the same vine, "oh hi, thanks for checking in, i'm still a piece of garbage." i hope that makes sense. so those vines are fictional, written in 2015, but reflecting what seems to be depicted on 2 randomly selected journal pages (both coincidentally from 2 consecutive days during the summer of 2007).
