I realte to a lot of what sarah manguso wrote in ongoingness. I also started writing because I was afraid of forgetting things, I recorded everything obsessively at first but in 10 years I've never read any of my dairies, I guess I don't care about remembering that much after all. She also writes that as one ages there's less to record in a diary because things don't leave as strong of an impression as before, which is something my own experience confirms
#until last year i kept a different journal to write down what activities i did each day and at the end of the month i'd make graphs#and write statistics#i still keep track of certain things like that in my phone#i have this obsession with self-documentation that hasn't waned that much after all#in fact i think i should start writing everything down on a journal again#بات چیت
