This book contains entries taken from my very first OD created in 2004.



“My name is Natalie Caroline.

I am 23 years old and have had this online journal for 7 years now. It has grown up with me and has recorded every good and every bad memory I have experienced these past few years.

All the tears.

All the laughs.

The fights, the awkward moments.

I can look back on entries and cry.

I can look back on entries and laugh at how foolish I was.

It’s amazing what a bunch of words typed down can make me do.

But every entry had a story behind it, hundreds of entries that will always remind me of my past.

This is a journal I can never let go of, and never share with besides with those who have been there from the beginning.

It will always be there to remind me of how much I have grown and changed.

Remind me of my hopes and dreams.

Remind me to keep going on because I have made it this far.

But most of all, with this journal, I have the power to go back in time…
