Within: Speak, Affirm, Share

It’s my first complete day of using Within and I already am in love with it. I love mostly just listening to other people and what they’re going through. Sometimes I wish that after listening I could leave a comment or even follow that person. Like I wish we were all anonymous and we all had randomly given names, but we could use the follow button to keep up with certain people. I see how that can become an issue, though. I still wish I could leave a comment on someone’s journal, because I’ve gotten a few life quotes from the community and I wish I could thank them.

I recently started both video journaling as well as audio journaling and I decided to download this app but I also found myself listening to other peoples emotions and their affirmations of something positive when they are feeling something negative. I find myself being somewhat satisfied listening to others for some reason, maybe it’s because I know I’m not the only one feeling a certain way and I try to keep most of my feelings to myself so that is why I am trying to do video journaling as well as audio journaling and just record of what I’m feeling in the moment, but it is an interesting viewpoint to see and hear what someone else is going through and it makes you really reflect yourself as well when you hear yourself and your emotions and your feelings and what you’re going through, I just wish the record time would be a lot longer because sometimes other people have a lot to say what they’re feeling in the moment

I really dig the affirmation at the tail end of the audio log! Each time I log, I get a calm and peaceful feeling. Hearing what others are going through and seeing them pull out of it in an anonymous audio log is emotionally rewarding. Its definitely become a mainstay escape from the day for me now.

A great idea. A convenient way to share and record daily thoughts. I have an iPhone SE however and there are compatibility issues that don’t allow me to use features like labeling recordings. Would try it further otherwise.
