What is this WT?

We’ve a steadily growing community—Welcome to our 18 new members since last week, we’re now 483 total!—but participation is growing slower.

My idea is to encourage people in participating more by pushing a weekly theme. It’s an invitation, not a mandatory theme. Feel free to comment about anything else related to journaling, or to start your own thread ;)

This week theme: If by journaling it you could change one thing in the past…

News aren’t that great and I thought it might be an interesting way to reuse a classic sifi theme. So, if by journaling it, writing it or skecthing it down in your journal, you could change any past event, not something global like an election, a war, some castatrophic event, or anything like that but something directly linked to you daily or to the people close to you.

  1. Would you use that power?
  2. What would you change?

    Hi, I’m one of the new subscribers.

    Welcome :)

    Thank you for all your work in this community.

    Thx. That’s not much. On Reddit, I was much of a lurker/commenter, seldom initiating anything but freshly debarked here and realizing how few of use were around, I decided I should try to be more active if I wanted things to change and the community to grow. Looking forward to the day I will be able to retire and enjoy all the other participants worki…posting and commenting hard while I take a nap on the couch ;)

    As for your question, I probably wouldn’t use the power, but that’s because I only write things in my journal that I want to remember. For me, the journal is a place full of good and positive memories.

    That’s interesting. I never dared do that or not for very long, to be honest. But I understand why I would want to do it, and how would like to read my journal like that, even more so in times like the ones that are coming. It’s a whole other type of tool, imho, and one that may be very helpful.
