Keep your murmurs in your pocket

Things that come to mind.
How I feel at that moment.
Things that are hard to explain.
Things I want to put into words, even if I don't necessarily want anyone to hear them.

I write such "murmurs" in a notepad I keep in my pocket.

Words that overflow and spill out.

Murmur: A quiet, self-directed utterance.

We say that a murmur "leaks out," but we don't say that we "speak" a murmur.
We don't use that phrasing.

Words that suddenly spill over from the brim of a heart filled to capacity.
I think a murmur is a word that refers to such whispers of the heart.

Yet, modern dictionaries add this definition.

Murmur: A tweet.

Will it be corrected to "posting (on X)" in the latest edition?

Certainly, it might be correct to say that in the modern era, to murmur means to post on social media.
However, it is an act quite far removed from the original meaning of a "murmur."

Is a "murmur" that is made with the premise of being seen by someone really a "murmur" at all?

Keep your murmurs in your pocket.

Trivial realizations.
Ideas that come to mind.
Emotions I've never felt before, the situation at that time.
The beauty of what I see.
A funny story from the past that I suddenly remembered.

Words suddenly flow out.
I catch the words that spill from my full heart not on a smartphone, but in a pocket notepad.

My pocket notepad is filled with things that have value only to me.

I intentionally write them on paper with a pencil.

My favorite item, a Daigo notepad.
It is smaller and lighter than a smartphone.

There is no place for a smartphone in my pocket.
Instead, my notepad is always there.
