Using tag clouds to make sense of over 13 years of writing

Sometime in 2005, I started writing regularly on a Microsoft Word document (Journal.docx).

I no longer write as much as I used to, but coming across the file recently made me wonder: What did I constantly keep writing about? What were the common themes of my self-reflections?

I copied the text from the entire file into a tag cloud generator. All one hundred five pages, thirty-nine thousand three hundred eight words.

And there you have it. The five most frequently used words in no particular order:
Time, know, much, think, I’m.

What can we make of this? Using a combination generator can help generate a complete list of possible sentences. But, since ain’t nobody got time for that, this is what I came up with off the top of my head:

I think time knows much.
I think much of time.

Time knows much.
Time much knows.

Much think, know time.
Much time, I’m think.
Much think, I’m know.

In conclusion, much think, much know.
