Incredible! This is such a cool idea and it was fascinating getting a glimpse into your mind. The first paragraph read like a poem titled 'Anyway' that reminds the reader that - yes, there are things that matter, but anyway there's these other things that also matter! I would have loved to this but I can't for the love of God seem to preserve diaries. I write and then rip the pages off - must be some subconscious fear. But this post has inspired me to keep some of those notes atleast.

Lovely post!

Thank you so much, Aradhana, I'm so glad you enjoyed this little experiment! It is really interesting how it started to become almost like poetry in some places due to the repetition.

haha my fear about diaries was always that people would snoop and read them, but somehow I've never been able to stop myself from writing them!

This is a cool idea. It's like a digital version of William S. Burroughs cut ups. The rearranged text reveals something to the author

You're welcome 😁 keep sharing stuff like this. I'm fascinated with creativity in the digital era, the blending of digital and analog tools.
