My old Tumblr posts are a whole different person and I kinda miss that version of me

I dug up my Tumblr from 2013 last night, and the cringe is real, but honestly? That girl was posting song lyrics and aesthetic gifs every 2 hours like it was a full time job. The before was pure emotion, no filter, just raw teenage brain dump. Now my feeds are all carefully curated photos of my dog and meal prep, which is fine, but also kinda boring? The change happened around 2017 when I got my first office job and suddenly felt like I had to be "professional" online. I deleted like 200 posts overnight because I was scared a coworker would find them. What makes me cringe now isnt the weird stuff I posted, its that I let a random HR department shape my whole online personality. Has anyone else gone back and read their old stuff and felt more connected to that person than who they post as today? I'm thinking about bringing back my old username and just posting nonsense again, but I'm scared my past self would roast my current feed for being so lifeless.
