“Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars, to change the world.”  — Harriet Tubman

Whoops. I definitely have fallen off the journaling bandwagon something fierce. Not just a day, or two, or a week. Like tons of days with gaps in between.

Since November.

I guess the holidays have been harder than I thought given then current state of my living situation outside of my ability to manifest some sort of income.

There have been things that have been absorbing way more of my attention than anything else.

Like finishing projects or going through stuff I need to get rid of.I was thinking about my journal converter thing that’s partially done. In fact I was just thinking about it right now. I hadn’t in a bit.Because I’ve been thinking about other things.

Much more important things.

Such as memes.

Which are arguably less important than keeping up a journaling habit that enables better introspection and ideation. 🤔

Memes.

I’ve been continuing to experiment with ChatGPT. It has already broken invaluable in helping to move some projects along. It has been invaluable in the workplace — saving me tons of time.

This shit has been great.

Although, I’d rather use an open source model. That’s a project for another day though. It’ll be a rabbit hole.Today I decided to have it make meme sentences that can then have images applied to them.

Because I want to get right back to it, and because I want to get a blog post done and out before the last like 3 days of the month, I present to you my 13 favorite meme topics generated so far.

  1. When your smart fridge judges your midnight snack choices.
  2. That feeling when even your coffee needs a coffee.
  3. When your pet rock starts giving you life advice.
  4. When your houseplants start a support group for neglected greenery.
  5. That awkward moment when your shadow decides to go on a diet.
  6. When your diary starts writing back with life critiques.
  7. When your yoga mat quietly judges your not-so-flexible lifestyle.
  8. The endless to-do lists, each item a reminder of tasks unfinished.
  9. When you relate more to a meme than to real people.
  10. When you send a deep, philosophical meme and get a ’lol’ in response.
  11. Using memes as a way to communicate complex emotions because words are hard.
  12. When you find a meme that perfectly describes your life, and it’s not even funny, just sad.
  13. The weird pride you feel when your life is a mess, but it makes a great meme.

That last one really hits home.
