I\u2019ve kept it in the public archive because it explores documenting as a form of presence, self-reflection, and truth-telling.&amp;nbsp; Jason\u2019s approach to video journaling goes far beyond memory-keeping. It\u2019s a practice of witnessing yourself with honesty and care. ... What if documenting wasn\u2019t about remembering the past, but about witnessing yourself right now? Jason McGarva didn\u2019t set out to turn the camera on himself, but once he did, something shifted. What began as an experiment in video journaling became a grounding way to reflect, feel, and see himself more clearly. In this conversation, Jason shares what it\u2019s like to see yourself on screen without performing, and how video can become a mirror for noticing what you're really carrying.
