I write this:

Under this loop of honeysuckle,
A creeping, coloured caterpillar,
I gnaw the fresh green hawthorn spray,
I nibble it leaf by leaf away.

Down beneath grow dandelions,
Daisies, old-man’s-looking-glasses;
Rooks clap croaking across the lane.
I eat and swallow and eat again.

Here comes raindrops Helier-skelter;
I munch and nibble unregarding:
Hawthorn leaves are juicy and firm.
I’ll kind my business: I’m a good worm.

When I’m old, tired, melancholy,
I’ll build a leaf-green mausoleum
Close by, here in this lovely spray,
And die and dream the ages away.

Some say works win resurrection,
With white wings beat flitter-flutter,
But wings or a sound sleep, why should I care?
Either way I’ll miss my share.

And other thoughts I think might be useful for some piece of writing.
I try not to write down subjective views on the day as a whole or the individual events because I don't want to dwell on it later. It doesn't get it off my chest to write it down, I just end up stewing about "bad" events and putting pressure on future events to be "good".

Its clarity, its abstractness, its own way to be creative etc., and how separate it is from humans, and I'm not making any philosophical claims like "maths is out there and we discover it blah blah", but just how it is a way to close the mankind out of my life for a while.

However I also use a website called Future me, which stores an email you write to yourself and then sends that email to you after a year.

The first half is usually about my daily worries. Very specific and meaningless talk about so and so and the project at work and how I feel about all of it. When I first started journaling I thought that I was majorly missing the point and that I was wasting precious space kvetching. But this exercise should be cathartic. I have realized that not all of it needs to be memorable or worthy of publishing in my death bed memoirs.

The second half is either self coaching or some strange intellectual point I've been incubating. Again, none of this is 'worthy' information, but I tend to ruminate internally and never let anything out. It's cathartic to see it written out on paper so I can either discount the thought completely or I can pursue it in a more formal way.

Writing down the dreams can help you with faster recalling as well as memorizing more details. It is useful for those who research lucid dreaming. You can also use them as an inspiration for a book.

For me, I recorded dreams because it is all I have left.

>> No.13544814

Usually try to describe and analyse my behaviour to allow for introspection and self-improvement. Also sometimes write about literature and media that has a profound effect on me. Such as recently I went onto a trip that had an uncanny similarity to the experiences of Hans Castorp in The Magic Mountain, so I tried to record these comparisons.

I've had both good and bad profs. Most likely, I would assume, it is a consequence of the academic industry complex whose purpose is to take young people in as raw material and pump them full of info in order to produce educated work forces. Not only does it affect what is taught but how much in what time, and it must also demotivate the profs.
