Special Moments was inspired by diaries. Something I love about diaries is that people don't write them for lucrative purposes. They are sincere pieces of writing because no one thinks about selling them when they write them. And they contain the information about our daily lives that we consider priceless or unsellable. They are an extension of our thoughts that we put in written form to clear our heads and remember moments. And it is one of the very few things that we only do for ourselves.
This diary-inspired piece isn’t lucrative. But it is public now, so it definitely isn’t as truthful as a private one would be. It does contain bits of music, text, and video that weren’t originally made to be shown. I'm aware that they will now be seen by others, so instead of diary entries they are unconscious reproductions of special moments.
