this: is a new promise to myself

if I feel angry, write.

if I feel frustrated, write.

if I feel sad, write.

if I feel excited! write.

I want to capture all of the experiences where I felt and lived and I grieved and I weeped.

I want them all taken down for my future self

to reflect back on.

I’m doing this for me. And I deserve this time for myself.
