![]() ![]() ![]() There’s been plenty of fictionalised teenage diaries over the years (Adrian Mole being a classic), but this is a real one – it’s Rae Earl’s actual diary from when she was 17 years old in 1989. I think it explains why I felt drawn to read this book, which I found in a charity shop a couple of days ago. I’ve always had a brutally harsh inner critic, and being nicer to myself (as I am now and as I was in the past) is an important resolution I’ve made recently.Įxcuse the preamble there. I got rid of them mainly because I was embarrassed about what I was like when I was a kid, and that’s quite sad really. I’m trying to make sense of various things that happened to me when I was younger, and it would really help if I could see what I was really like. I’m not sure if that’s really sad or not, but I do regret getting rid of them – I’ve got a crap memory, and I’m sad I can no longer see what I really thought about things at the time I experienced them. I kept quite a lot of them, but sadly they no longer survive. ![]() The original one is in the title of this post – the copy I obtained was called “My Mad Fat Diary”, and was published as a tie-in to the E4 TV adaptation of the same name)Īhh, teenage diaries.
