found an old journal from 2018 today, mostly just notes about my post-college finances ("debts: $30 - rachel, $10 - thomas, beer and dumplings") and some new york observations
discovered a small note concealed in a pocket on the last page, I'd never noticed it before and am no longer dating the person who wrote it. the short, handwritten note was from ~6 months into our relationship, and we were definitely in love lol. think she meant for me to find it at work? something very strange about finding it now, when many complex things and many not very loving words have been passed between us.
was also nice, clarifying? like I felt only fondness and nostalgia for that time, no regret or bitterness. the romance is gone but there it was in front of me, real and in handwriting I know (knew?) well.
made me wonder what a more modern version of this might be, whether such an accident would even be possible, or if an email - accidentally archived years ago - would pull me back through time the same way the note did 13 replies
