i obsessively wrote almost nothing down for most of my life

then i started to

and it was good

Same.

I don't want to use PC either because that just isn't as comfy for randon scribblings.

 

fuck your parents and your sister, they are probably homosexuals with complicated pronouns who spend half their life being offended at being misgendered.

Any ideas for good enough ciphers or unreadable shorthand that is still easy to write?

Otherwise I'll just use vim.

try being too boring for anyone to bother reading

or just fill it with porn so theyre too embarrassed

i've been keeping a kind of patchy journal for a few years now, its good to look back on the earliest entries and laugh at how mental i was and how i've kind of grown. the later entries are also good because they remind me of the even keel i was on at the start of this year when i have a depressive turn and start behaving irresponsibly.

its not all thanks to the journal, of course, but keeping track of your mental state and building a sequence of events in your life is important for staying grounded in reality imo. i can look through the pages and find bad entries, remember my state of mind then and associate it with thoughts in the present, which indicate that the train of thought i'm on leads to auschwitz
