Ha! Reading your notes made me chuckle, I might as well have been reading my inner monologue when using a tool.
I was a heavy Roam user - swapping to Obsidian was not the easiest swap to make, yet it was 100% the right decision (I am four/five years on now).
Firstly, I have it feeling like the most beautiful app I have ever used. I look forward to opening it and writing.
The need for a little bit more structure, has forced me to simplify my notes, rather than just chucking things into Roam and not thinking too much about where they go. I have become much more intentional for it.
