      I’m inclined to agree. “It’s like comparing a flower to an old shoe” is just a bit too witty for a little kid.

      1. yeah, i think most people do a single entry per page, no matter the length. that’s not uncommon for a journal
      2. none of these words are particularly complex
      3. the author’s age is unknown
      4. i’d rather choose to take people at face value until given a reason otherwise

          You’re absolutely correct there. My issue is that I feel like so many of us are almost giving in to the desires of those that spread misinformation, and becoming completely cynical towards anything that’s shared online. A healthy amount of skepticism is required. Asking yourself “what does this person gain here if they’re lying” and if that answer is “some notes on tumblr” then I’d personally rather choose to believe them. To instead get to have the positive feelings that post provides. Rather than dwell on it and believe that all of humanity are dishonest and disingenuous.

          That’s just my two cents.

      we don’t know the authors age, I had recess up to the sixth grade and this would be well within my skill level at that age

        My son’s school has recess up to grade 7, but I think grade 5 would be a better guess for learning the meaning of the word lesbian and also the quality of the handwriting. This is also about the time I recall girls and boys starting to have crushes.

          If we’re judging by handwriting then I’m nearly 30 and my handwriting isn’t much better. So I say the writer was clearly somewhere in their early 20s.
