April 17 139/365

why i now write to myself


i've journaled for years, many many years but never in dialogue directly with myself

five days ago i started a dialogue with myself

back and forth we chat away

it's like meeting a new friend and getting to know her

what she loves, what she's scared of

this relationship is blossoming

it has been nothing short of life altering

i also had the sudden urge to type it up

each day after writing freehand in my journal i go to my computer and type it up

i have no idea why, but it feels right

it's definitely easier to read than all those handwritten journals

dozens upon dozens over the years

what i will do with my typed dialogue i have no idea

but the words seem to important to not have on hand whenever i need to see them
