Why only Spotify? What about life?

A minimalist graphic with a black background and white handwritten text in the center that reads “Life Wrapped.” The top portion has a light grey section with black circular shapes connected by lines, resembling a decorative string. The handle “@random.whys” appears vertically on the right side.

Every December, apps try to remind us who we are.

Spotify Wrapped, YouTube recap (soon GPT, lol) in colorful designs saying “This is your year.” But forget the confetti… and it’s basically a well-curated report card of our habits. A reminder that once you own a smartphone, privacy becomes a joke.

Still… I can’t deny one thing. It show where the time actually went. Because life isn’t one straight line. We start the year with a big plan or bucket list and then something or life drags us sideways. Be it work, health heartbreak, random chaos. By the time we look up, the year is gone. And we’re left wondering, Did I grow? Or did I just survive?

These are the part the apps don’t track. That’s where self-metrics matter. But tiny reflections, honest ones. For eg. Did I stay true to myself? or Did I break fewer times than last year? or Getting better at managing things?

Just awareness. Awareness is both annoying and incredible. It exposes our repeated mistakes, patterns and more. But it also shows how far we’ve crawled even when life keeps fumbling us!

Cheers!
