Finally stopped apologizing for my high school opinion on Twitter from 2013
I dug up a cringey hot take I made about a musician when I was 16 and instead of deleting it, I just left it up and replied explaining I was a dumb kid. Nobody even cared or dragged me for it, it was just sitting there for 9 years with zero likes. Has anyone else realized most of this stuff only matters if you give it attention first?

Its the same thing as people who hold grudges over something someone did in high school, the only person still thinking about it is you. Everyone else moved on a decade ago, theyre wrapped up in their own lives and their own dumb past mistakes. Leaving it up is just admitting you were a kid who didnt know any better, which is pretty much the most honest thing you can do.

Ngl, I kinda think leaving it up is the weaker move. People do judge you based on your digital footprint even if they dont say anything, and having a cringey post from 2013 with your dumb opinion and a defensive reply just looks worse than hitting delete and moving on. Deleting it shows you grew up without making a whole thing about it.
