Writing is the hard drive of our memory. Primal medicine, qualia abacus, and resistance to early erasure.
Even stones hammered with our minds will be atomized. So the least we can say is, if we write it all down, it won’t go too early. It gives us another inch, maybe a mile, to be known.
I told a friend once why I keep a diary. I said, even if jotting down my days doesn’t slow down time, I’ll never be able to say they got away from me. They said they were going to miss me. I’ve never seen them again.
