Looks like we have a race condition that someone triggered by using a script to rapidly upvote and then unvote the submission. I'm not sure whether to be grateful or pissed. Perhaps I'll settle on grateful once I've fixed it.
In the meantime, please don't anybody else do this!
Starting a long term commitment like journaling isn’t that hard. Just write something. There are a million apps and special notebooks to make it as easy as possible. I often hear people say staring is easy, maintaining is hard. Maintaining is also easy. Journaling doesn’t get harder with time. We often just underestimate how little your future self will care or value the same things current you does. It’s true that life gets in the way or a busy period will knock you out of your new habits. But starting again is still easy. Maintaining a journaling practice for a long time isn’t really that hard, it’s just hard to keep caring.
well, maybe you found the antidote to society's ills. Journaling.
Writing stuff down helps me remember the good times and that the bad times don't last. It shows growth, from the way I write to the way I think. And it's humbling to see my ideas strewn about a piece of paper and realize, they're not as good as I think they are.
So, maybe the tech overlords "hate this one trick". ha.
I do wonder if more people started journaling if the world would become a better place. not a scientist, so I don't know how you'd even prove that. but, anecdotally, journaling is just as effective as therapy for me.

Unless they all share in writing and choosing images, it is a personal journal about a family from one members perspective.
Other members of the family would have experienced the recorded events differently and would have chosen different things to record.
(Written as a person that often thinks that different things are interesting and noteworthy.)
