“There are hundreds of ways that we distract ourselves from self-reflection, from asking those fundamental questions that really matter – movies, podcasts, games, social media. An endless stream of information you have to digest that does not allow you to spend any time alone with yourself. When you have nothing to do for a long-long time, that is when your mind starts to itch. It is then that you experience the unbearable heaviness of being. I think it happens to you too. Your most random thoughts intermingle in a chaotic descent into your own mental maelstrom, producing the strangest conclusions, as your brain explores the deepest corners of your mind.” LovePurposeThoughtsMeaningDistractionSelf ReflectionEscapismSelf Reflection Quotes Book:Breakfast Buddies Source: Breakfast Buddies
“So many people and so many diaries. Some are full of trite details of daily routines, while others diligently guard what our past selves thought to be our dearest and most important memories. Some become deeply cherished heirlooms passed down from generation to generation, while others are consumed by the insatiable quicksand of history, the names of those who wrote them vanishing like the final gentle whisper of the early autumn wind. Yet every diary—no matter how boring or gripping it is—tells a story and creates meaning where there was none. If used wisely, that meaning helps us to better understand this ridiculously complicated world through the stories of ourselves and others.” MemoriesThoughtsEmotionsMemoryDramaticExplorationSelf ReflectionDiary Author:Ildar Daminov
