Recently I came to the realization that my reliance on dopamine has severly affected my life. It feels like I can't last a few minutes without needing to watch Youtube, working on the computer or putting caffeine in my system to keep me alert. It feels like I need to constantly shut myself off from the world, in fear of everything it can do to hurt me. My failed attempts to form meaningful connections with others and my anxiety for the future have caused me to isolate myself from these negative thoughts.
Additionally, as the internet has slowly devalued the meaning of art, I wanted to do something that allows me to freely express myself without being consumed by feelings of self-doubt and despair.
My goal for journaling is meant to keep track of how much I've progressed in physical form. Doesn't matter if I write about what happened that day or if something was on my mind. All I have to do is make this journal my own, without having thoughts for improvement getting in the way.
