It can be a fun exercise to go back through old diaries and see how you felt about things way back when…

And sometimes, you get a big surprise.

A woman named Susie posted a video on TikTok and showed viewers what made her do a double-take when she read her diary from 7th grade.

The video’s text overlay reads, “In 7th grade, 1983, I wrote something in my diary that just gave me the biggest chills…coincidence?

Susie asked viewers, “Does anyone else think this is coincidence, or crazy?”

Susie flipped through the pages until she reached February 28.

She read aloud, “Dear Diary, My legs hurt from yesterday. Today at school was fun. I was in such a good mood. Today is somebody’s birthday, but I can’t remember whose…”

Susie continued, “And I got the biggest chills, because on February 28, 2001, I gave birth to my first child, and I’ve been freaking out.”

Interesting!

In the caption, she wrote, “What are the chances?”
