Experiences are Nothing If You Didn't Write It Down

I heard this mindset somewhere, and it changes the way I see writing forever. Usually, I saw writing as an hobby, as something that we do for fun. Or for some people who writes journal/diary, maybe something that we do to express our feeling.

After I heard this simple phrase: experiences are nothing if you didn't write it down

I thought about it a little, and I said, "It completely makes sense!"

Can you imagine, what happened in the past if they didn't write their invention about something. We might know nothing about anything.

Imagine if Marcus Aurelius never wrote down his thought on his journal every night, we might never have seen his greatest thought as Roman emperor.

Writing makes your experiences live forever.

This is a new mindset for me. I write not just for the sake of fun, but for documenting, so the future me can see and hopefully can learn something along the way.
