When Lisa was 16, she asked a lot of questions. Deep philosophical questions.

Is there one objective reality that can be considered absolute or irrefutable?

If so, can it be known? If it exists and it is known by no one, is it reality?

In what form does it manifest? To what extent

is perception reality? Can false

information be transformed into

truth if it is perceived as such?

Can both the subjective and the objective reality

exist as one? Is to believe to create?

If I believe in a God, does that God exist?

Where is the line between subjective and objective?

Who's to say,

inevitably, all these questions are meaningless.

That's Lisa, reading from the diary she kept when she was 16. And this? Well, this is grown-ups

read things they wrote as kids. I'm Dan Meisner. Grown-ups read things they wrote as kids is a live

open-mic event where brave adults get up on stage and share their weird, wonderful, and sometimes

embarrassing writing with a room full of strangers.

This time recorded live at La Vitrola in Montreal, we have stories of teenage existential angst,

summer camp love, and what it's like to be the smartest kid in the world.

So think about the stuff you wrote when you were a kid, the stuff you might have

stored away in an old shoebox in the closet, and stick around.

Many people name their diaries, and Frank, for instance, famously named her diary, Kitty. But Lisa, who we heard from just a minute ago, Lisa was not content to give her diary just one name.
