I mean we can now document every single day of our lives, even down to the seconds, if we wanted to… Which reminds me tho… I’ve been thinking about the idea of journaling for the past… 5 years… but actually doing feels so boring so I never started… like every day is just do boring and cringe lmfao Like what do I even write? “Oohh I’m a boring piece of shit that stayed home all day because of depression” I’m lame as fuck…

being illiterate would drive me crazy im a data hoarder/archival nutjob
