I ditched the smartwatch. Picked up a film camera and Started journaling again, with an actual pen.
Not because I’m anti-tech. Not because it’s trendy. But because I got tired of living like a push notification.
So, This episode is about choosing friction over speed, presence over performance, and finding something real in a world that wants everything to be optimized.
The photos came out blurry. The journaling is messy. But for once, I showed up. And that counts for something.
Maybe this isn’t regression. Maybe it’s what progress looks like when no one’s watching.
