normal people call this "reading your old journal entries" but i picked a broader term bc it can apply to anything - going through old collections of your work, scrolling through old voice memos, diving into the dm history between you and a friend (discord is 10 years old now btw). lots to learn about the ways you've changed - and the ways you haven't

i used to journal very frequently until mid-2022 when shit started hitting the fan and i got too tired to sit down and write. also lived in 3 different cities that year and forgot to bring my journal with me. now that i am in a phase where i'm turning inwards again, im trying to hold myself to journaling. last night i looked through everything i wrote during junior year of college right before i stopped. so interesting to track my own progression … also i was so much more eloquent and smart 2 years ago… unsure what this means for me. maybe i can return to that

I was cleaning today and stumbled upon journals from 8-10 years ago. I’m so grateful that I kept them because they are a reminder of how much I’ve grown, the many lives I’ve lived, and the people that have come and gone. a side note is that I wasn’t particularly fond of the prose lol

spent the last two weeks working on an interactive guide, recommendations database, and digital library (link depot) to help get people off of social media. the first draft is done now, and it's at the link to this post. it's still very much a work in progress (the library is especially thin atm) - which is why i wanted to share it here before unleashing it upon my IRL friends and the general public. i welcome any and all feedback, bug reports, and suggestions for things to add. i will be pushing updates to it out like a madman in the coming weeks, so be sure to check back every so often to see new additions to the database and library. additionally, i am still on the hunt for newsletters from local venues / community organizations / magazines / newspapers, etc. the only cities i have remotely covered so far are nyc, orlando, denver, brisbane, and little bits of worcester and chicago. if you know anything in your area that fits the bill, send it my way!
