There is so much to say!!! Amazed and inspired. Thank you for sharing your thought process with candor and detail—I appreciate it deeply. MS sounds tough (a dear friend's mother has it too); that line is your plot is such a powerful line. By the way, (even though you have some great references here) I came across this project that took a similar approach. https://datastori.es/visualizing-your-google-search-history-with-lisa-charlotte-rost-ds61/ https://lisacharlottemuth.com/2015/06/20/Searching-through-the-years/ In my project too, although it's early minutes, I am beginning to see (especially through your explorations and examples like this one) that there always needs to be a layer of context from the data collector about their life—what was significant to them, what was transformative—which makes the data story meaningful.

Thank you so much for these references! I'd seen some of her work, but not the podcast or the specific search history. I'm going to add these to my references and so excited to listen.
