[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Do you have a journal? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago I do. Been keeping a journal since 2000 when I made my first entry on a plane to europe, because the guy who sold me the suitcase said he’d been keeping a journal since his first traveling. Unfortunately, all the notebooks up to 2022 (which was roughly 50-75 notebooks, filled with my handwriting) have been lost. About half when I couldn’t pay for a storage unit, and about half a decade ago when they were stored in a friend’s barn and then we had a falling out and he pretended to not remember my storing them there. But yeah. It helps me think to journal stuff out. So even though 90% of my journal entries are lost, it was still valuable to do. I just really wish I could read my entries from early twenties and understand my own state of mind then. permalink fedilink source parent
