I keep a paper diary which I just assumed would rot away as a write-only set of documents, but then I think of all the digital work from 10+ years ago I’ve lost to plain bit rot, and I wonder if these chickenscratch braindumps on graphite and cheap recycled paper aren’t the more durable medium.

I’ve thought about keeping a journal but I don’t think having a copy of a lot of my thoughts laying around for someone to find is a good idea.

Yeah you have to be careful what you write in there for legal reasons, but you could just omit some stuff or use coded phrases only you know the meaning to (eg. Got to the milk just before it expired = had hot homo sex in the park).
