I try to update this tool every day with my mood. I update it by assigning a value 0-100 to my mood. 0 bad 100 good.

Plotting each of these mood points against time renders an image of your emotions over time. This reveals trends and provide historical context into my emotional state at a glance.

The difficulty of assigning an number to your mood is intentional. By presenting mood (subjective, messy, hard to define) as an "objective" number value, the space between subjective and objective becomes exaggerated. This is intended to be uncanny - communicating emotion through a graph's peaks and valleys is meant to make you question how are these values quantified, and if I'm a reliable narrator. How else does false objectivity impact the stories we tell ourselves and others?

This project archives my mood and lets my friends know how I'm doing.

You can also see the correlations between my self-reported mood and the images that I upload here. By comparing my mood value against images that I upload, a low-resolution (this is far from a perfect methodology) image of stimuli that make me happy vs unhappy are revealed.
