'Journal about Life's Eras too...'. 2023-11-17.|explains]] that our journals are missing important context if we’re not including our different *life eras*. the era(s) of life that you’re in might be defined by the music you listen to, the types of clothes you’re wearing, what you do in your day-to-day, and more. they’re made up of the [[{2.1a} the essence of the everyday]] at a given time. you might notice if someone has entered their “craft beer” era, for example, or “boss girl” era. it’s more than trying on new identities or personalities (the way you might see teenagers rapidly cycle through different styles / ways of behaving); eras can overlap and coexist, but a change in eras marks a meaningful change in your perspective or life direction. - ( [[01.07 ERAS]]
