Have you tried lifelogging?
Most of us call it blogging. It’s a subset of blogging.
Lifeblogging, the practice of documenting and sharing the intricacies of one’s daily life online, often in real-time, is more than just a trend — it’s a way of storytelling.
It involves capturing the fleeting moments, thoughts, and experiences that make up the tapestry of everyday life.
Remember the teenage days when we captured all of these in our diary? But now .. most of us have moved to a digital diary.

My Lifeblogging Journey
I love to share some anecdotes from my lifeblogging journey. These stories, both significant and ordinary, have not only shaped my blog but also me as a person.
Most of the time, it’s about self-reflection and growth. As we age, we have a lot of experience to share. And maybe it can inspire others.
It will be worthwhile if our stories can change even one person’s life to become a better person.
