Not anymore. I used to write a lot about my day in the agendas I had during high school. I would go home and write longer entries in some private blog. I had so much more free time back then as well. However, these days, I feel like writing by hand is too slow and I can't get my thoughts down fast enough compared to typing with a keyboard. Also, I think I've learned to avoid reflection in the past couple years because hurts more than it helps. I don't end up learning from my mistakes in the past. The mistakes just get magnified. A part of me misses writing every day, but knowing that my thoughts are down somewhere and reading over them is just not worth it anymore.
