I hate the changing clocks. Ours will change in a week or two.
I am glad the tool didn't break on a large account like yours.
I was actually surprised. It took several minutes, but that was no issue for me at all, and I expected it. There is a lot of data to trawl and a lot of processing, so you have done a great job with it!
There is no need to incorporate all of the changes, but it is a really nice tool to get a view of an account and I think that for those who have been here a long time relatively consistently, it is an interesting way to reflect on life. Some come and go and come back and go - I wonder what has happened in their life between? They know, and this might be like a via negativa view of it.
Lots of cool things to explore around the behaviours.
On a different, more personal note, I wonder if your recovery from your stroke has helped by keeping your mind active through writing. I hope it has.
Thanks for asking.
It has I think. As I have oft said, writing is cathartic - so I have written through every kind of even I/we have faced. I reckon if I hadn't written about the stroke and kept writing in general, I would have withdrawn from life and become more the average statistic for this kind of stroke. As it is, I still struggle, but probably less than I would have. People don't really appreciate how hard it can be, even those very close to me like my wife. It is almost incomprehensible, because it is unique case by case, and unless experiencing it or similar, hard to grasp. Plus, while I have changed so much fundamentally, I look much the same, and behave much the same. A broken leg or cancer is more "visible" as a challenge - brain issues, well...
I am very glad HIVE still has people like you.
Some will agree. Many will not :D
Perhaps they are acutely unaware of their own neurological degeneration.
Stroke or not, It is only through writing (be it personal musings, or the fiction that I have been exploring more recently) I see that I grow incredibly on a cognitive level the more I read and write. (Creatine probably also helps!) In the last 6 months or so where I have really increased my writing volume and reading volume, I have had such increased self satisfaction.
I can write about the things that would have before seen me be depressed for week, and instead, they might have the effect of depressing others.
That is what good writing is. :D
Isn't it great? Being creative is where it is.
Ha! I think you are on to something with this.
