I'm glad I asked! Thank you all, I'll have to make some changes.

"Since leaving college, Fugate has had a meteoric rise in the political world, having served as an “advance team member” on President Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign, according to his LinkedIn page.
An avowed Republican, he also interned at the Heritage Foundation...
Fugate was reportedly hired as a “special assistant” in an immigration office at the DHS in February, according to ProPublica. He then took over CP3 after its previous director quit."
I've been journaling for the past few years and, like a lot of people will say, it's not the magic bullet people want it to be. But it is a great tool for sorting thoughts, tracking events, and just a general brain dump. But we all slip every now and again but I will say my experience lines up with yours. I feel that journaling has helped to keep things in my life in control because it forces me to A) keep tabs on myself and B) keep track of the things going on around me.
Another thing is that there is some scientific research that shows writing by hand is better for journaling and memory. I think that by going back to the app after writing so much didn't help your case. Part of the problem with digital journaling is that distractions are just a button press away. When I sit down to write at the end of the day: my computer is off, my phone is on the desk or charging, and it's usually quiet or some music on. Being a daily ritual helps keep the train on track. If I dont get to it on the evening then it's usually the first thing I do in the morning. Routine helps a lot.
Lastly, the tools you choose make a difference. There are a lot of journaling systems out there aside from a notebook/diary. The pens you use should be ones you enjoy using. I'm a fountain pen person and will use a different pen each day and can rotate pens and ink to suit what i feel like using. You could color coordinate entries depending on the mood, emotion, or day. There is a lot out there to make your journal unique instead of black ink in a notebook.
Lastly I will say sometimes life just gets too hectic. You can get so busy, tired, or burned out that you just default to survival mode. For me its ultimately a matter of discipline/ roitine to stay on track and keep up with it as much as possible.
Remember when we had a whole impeachment hearing against Trump for withholding aid to Ukraine so he could get a political hit piece on Biden? I'm wondering how long it will take before a quid pro quo scenario pops up again. Either in Ukraine or elsewhere. So ya, we're all feeling for Zelensky in the next few years.
I'm hoping they prove me wrong on this one but I'm not holding my breath. Tron could be just the movie to speak to the implications of AI in the real world, especially these days. But if it's helmed by the same guy that gave us the last Pirates movie I'm sure it'll be way more spectacle than substance. I feel like Legacy was at least a balance between spectacle and putting the story in a larger direction. I'll still watch it eventually but I'm not rushing out for it.
In the last year or so I heard about how the water level is dropping due to drought which is concentrating all the pollutants in the lake. It's also becoming l so saline that the few species living in the lake are dying and washing up on shore. Then the high winds are blowing around extra salty sand combined with dead carcass particles so it's actually a breathing hazard to be around. This is also combined with the runoff of pesticides from the farms to the north that also polite the water. So it sounds like a great place to hang out!
On a second look it actually came with one of these cards. It just wasn't connected. The cable setup unfortunately only let's me hook up half the drives for now but that works for the time being.
