Everything Is Symbolic: The 1989 Diaries is a coming-of-age audio memoir adapted from the real journal of a closeted teen growing up in small-town Wisconsin during 1989. Each entry is read (mostly verbatim) with a mix of deadpan humor, emotional honesty, and unexpected beauty. Family chaos, social disasters, spiritual longing — all told by a teenager who thinks he might be in love, might be losing his mind, or might just be deeply misunderstood. Equal parts cringe and poetry. New episodes weekly. No visuals. Just a tape recorder and the truth.
