Regret over growing up online and its lasting digital consequences.
Wishing I’d grown up without the Internet
I really wish my formative teen years weren’t spent online during a time before anyone really understood what a digital footprint was. There’s so much I did online as a teen that I am NOT proud of, and it’s impossible to just scrub away, it’ll always linger somewhere somehow. It makes me wish I’d never grown up with the internet at all, and I get jealous of those who were able to live in a time without their every action being permanently documented and catalogued.
