this was not a journal that needed to be bound into a book- but I see why some people (mostly men I’ve noticed) get all hot and bothered for this man

It feels wrong to give someone’s diary a rating, but here I am. It was a good read, one I could pick up and put down and easily go back to where I left off.
The content? Marcus—yes, we are on a first name basis now, I just read his innermost thoughts— had some absolute banger quotes in there! AND some great thoughts to reflect on in my own journal.
Even though he was a literal Roman emperor, who’s not only separated from us by station and time, his thoughts strike a chord with me, his worries are worries I have. Meditations shows how utterly human he is and how connected we all are by our condition alone :-)
I give this diary 3.5 stars.

Not great as an audiobook. I'll reread the annotated edition instead.

Logomania, am I right? Somebody get this guy a supreme box logo shirt.
I am not sure what I thought I would get out of reading this. Maybe either a sense of wonder at how much things have changed, or catharsis by finding some common ground with someone from so long ago. Instead I found myself with a great sense of unease.
A lot of the books felt uncanny, and it had me wondering if we really aren’t capable of change even alongside evolving environments and social structures. If there is someone 2000 years ago who I think with some wording swapped out could pass for someone writing today, what is to say that someone 2000 years in the future couldn’t think the same.
I think I would’ve preferred human experience to have changed with the world, and if it were for better or worse it be due to our actions, but I am left thinking that maybe it doesn’t have much consequence.
A hundred years or three.… no difference.
