Looking at my old diary, do you think something was very wrong with me, if so what? I need answers?

So, I am 17 years old and I just recently found a "diary" (More like just a notebook I scribbled in and wrote my thoughts in) and I was very shocked at how underdeveloped I was.

I was 13 years old when I first started in it, and lets just say at first glance you'd think everything was written and drawn by a 7 year old. I wrote poems about my "blanky" which is a special blanket I've had since I was 10, I have pages and pages full of these little yellow imaginary friends, I used to pretend I was a princess of this big land full of little onion shaped creatures, most all of it is my adventures with this little creature I had.

I wrote about excited I was that we were going to grandma's house and how I was going to pack his things and we were going to have fun. I also have drawings of my favorite stuffed animals and these little rainbow colored bears.

Was something wrong with me? I know a few 13 year olds and they're all far more mentally developed then I was. I'm actually kind of worried, because that's pretty bad.

What are your thoughts on this?

    lol thats damn funny..... I'm not going to make any sort of professional judgement beyond that..... maybe ill start keeping a dairy.... although id say the importance your placing on what you wrote in a diary at age 13 is more indicative of "something wrong with you" then the diary itself

    Why should you care? Everyone is different at 13. :P

    Sweetie..you are VERY NORMAL!!! 13 is the age where you grow out of being a little girl & begin to become a woman. You were writing ideas that were in your head; but you had NO frame of reference other than that of a young child. Although some of your friends appear to be more mentally developed, I bet that IF you were around them ALL the time, you'd find out they still do little girl things that they don't let you see!!!

    I do NOT see anything wrong with what you said!!! Your little creature friend was a substitute for the boyfriend that you needed but didn't have...yet!!! What you wrote was your inner self working at becoming a woman!!!
