I used to keep a diary, where 13 years ago my entries were long monologues similar to this. There was a clear correlation between amount of personal and emotional human contact I had in a day and the length of the diary entries where I tried to reminisce going mushroom picking with my grandmother a decade earlier.
The world today seems too constantly distracting for that sort of thing.
- nickknw 14y agoJust curious, which way did the correlation go? Less contact => Longer entries?
- Erwin 14y agoYes, less personal contact, perhaps a less meaningful job at the time meant more time brooding over everything due. Now that I do something people depend on and no longer live alone, I haven't felt the need to reminiscence.
- lastbookworm 14y agoThat seems like a very interesting book. Thanks for sharing! I have added it my list of things to read.
