15 days agoI think it would be fun to be able to read back to the day to get some perspective on how things have changed. What I was right about, what I had wrong.
I’ve never written a journal that lasted more than a week or two. But what I sort of wish I had done was write like to a close friend who is far away, telling them about my life. “Dear Diary,” is how they traditionally begin right?
It doesn’t have to be super formal or in a particular format. Years later it will trigger a bunch of memories that you will have forgotten. That’s the fun part.
I used to use Pocket for things I meant to read later, instead of bookmarks. But I never read them there either so I just gave up.
