I came across an old account of mine on a website where I posted a lot of written works I had done. I used it back in middle school, with my written works on there being in 2008 and 2009. I decided to read through some of my best stuff on there, just for kicks, to see how far I have progressed in my work.
THE HORROR. THE HORROR!
I was plagued with poorly written stories with horrible progression, foul and warped ideas of teenage romance, unnecessary and awkwardly placed cussing, and grammar problems galore. There was too much attention to details that didn't matter whatsoever, and barely any detail or time spent on key plot points.
Middle School Me, you were an idiotic little b****. I knew you were messed up, and part of that was due to the fact that you were 1. a middle schooler and 2. constantly bullied to the point of depression.
But thank you for growing up to having so much more potential.
Never ever will we write fan-fiction again. Not after how we butchered Harry Potter and Warriors.
To end this on a positive note, I'll put this randomly selected image here and hope I don't have to replace it later with something else cause it's inappropriate or something!

I've spent all of this time
Thinking that she cared
That she was my friend
That what we had was rare
I was such a foolish filly
I should have guessed
Seeing as how all along
She treated the rest
I must have been scared
To end up the same way
Rejected and humiliated
Well! No more, I say!
I won't be a bully
I have to face the light
If I want a chance to live
It's time to set things right
I'm tired of walking two hooves behind
It's time to face my destiny
If this is what cruelty gets, I'm gonna be kind
I've gotta be the real me
I am not somepony's royal servant
It's time to face my destiny
I can be a sweet spoonful of sugar
I've gotta be the real me
But now I worry
I've waited far too long
Is it too late
To admit that I was wrong?
Everypony I've hurt
And had brushed aside
Will they forgive me
And my selfish pride?
Reciting apologies
Like lines; will I forget?
I've never been so scared
To face the justice I will get
I guess it's worth a shot
To try to make amends
The best way to move forward
Is to find some better friends!
I'm tired of walking two hooves behind
It's time to face my destiny
If this is what cruelty gets, I'm gonna be kind
I've gotta be the real me
I am not somepony's royal servant
It's time to face my destiny
I can be a sweet spoonful of sugar
I've gotta be the real me
I'm going to shimmer like silver
Diamond Tiara, this is goodbye!
I'm putting my hoof down
It's time to do what's right...
