About

"Dear Diary..." the phrase that started it all — middle school journals, teenage heartbreak poems, dramatic AIM away messages, or passed notes--we want to hear your middle school short story or what folks wrote in your yearbook.
Bring a page or two (3-4 mins) from your past (pre age 21) and read it aloud under the soft glow of collective secondhand embarrassment. The drama! The passion! The misspellings! — we won’t judge. Tell us about your first queer crush, angsty poems of being misunderstood, or maybe a love letter or two--puberty was wild, let's relive it together
