Maggie Smith of The Slowdown podcast on the Make Me Smart podcast called writing like a message in bottle. It’s putting thoughts out into the world without really knowing who will read it. Without knowing who or how it will affect others.

I’ve had this blog since 2000. That’s over a quarter century of messages. Thousands of posts.

I am no longer the same person.

There’s a therapy in putting thoughts into an external brain. Journaling is a good way to help process and not dwell.
