I mean we can now document every single day of our lives, even down to the seconds, if we wanted to…
Which reminds me tho… I’ve been thinking about the idea of journaling for the past… 5 years… but actually doing feels so boring so I never started… like every day is just do boring and cringe lmfao
Like what do I even write? “Oohh I’m a boring piece of shit that stayed home all day because of depression”
I’m lame as fuck…
For what it’s worth, I like finding your posts on here from time to time. It helps me find a sense of connection, like I’m not the only one struggling with depression and loneliness. And that makes the burden just a little bit less heavy. Thank you for that.
being illiterate would drive me crazy im a data hoarder/archival nutjob
What validation are you fishing for?
Idk… feel weird that most of history… people could not even do stuff like journaling or worldbuilding…
Like idk what I would do as a hobby instead of writing poetry if I was born 100 years ago and illiterate…
You could… write about the depression. Or at least that’s what I do. I write how much I long to see my friends or how going to another country for travel might ligthen up the mood but alas, I was still depressed just in another country.
Doesn’t matter that much what your write, you just need to write first and figure it out along the way
About journaling…it’s as much about what happen as what was thought, no? So, thoughts, activities etc.
I dunno if what I do can be called journaling but when I notice some flaw or something I know I can work on in myself - as in, I have the means to work on it - I go to write a tangent about it in app lol. Just as much to go through the thoughts train as to “live” through what emotions it wakes and all that.
And I lately began really appreciating writing and writimg down a lot more to anchor the world and make myself see it more in how it is rather than how my mind blurs it together so your post hits home xD
