what would you say if no one was going to remember it?
there are things you keep behind your teeth because they would change something. this is a space where they won't.
every day there's one live question, the same for everyone. answer it anonymously, see what other people said. it's all gone in seven days.
answer today's question →imagine the words you write here will disappear by morning. no one will read them. no one will remember. write the thing you have been holding back. it might be directed at someone specific, or it might be something you need to say to yourself. don't soften it. don't make it kind if it isn't kind. don't make it tidy. let it be exactly as rough or sad or petty or honest as it actually is. after you have written it, sit with it for a moment. notice how it feels to have it outside of you, even just on paper. you can tear the page out later if you need to.
- write a letter to someone that you would never actually send.
- say the thing you are afraid would make people see you differently.
- tell yourself the truth you have been circling around for months.
this is for you if you have been editing yourself so carefully that you have started to lose track of what you actually think.
