Sometimes I wonder if one of the reasons why society seems so unwell is that we’ve replaced writing things in journals with posting stuff online.

Our personal lives have become a performance, our authenticity becomes a way to capture the algorithm.

Journaling is a way to get to know ourselves. To express the things we cannot express anywhere else. Without edits.

While performing for the algorithm becomes a way to be seen.

When we don’t have unfiltered time to express ourselves without caring about perfecting it afterward, we become strangers to ourselves.

The most radical thing we can do is maintain a sense of our own private life, where we have time to get to know ourselves, reflect, learn about ourselves, and without feeling the need to turn what was meant to be sacred into a piece of content.
