I've considered what it means to have a journal that is mostly about other people -- how, even before that we were somewhat estranged. But now every name that I drop without intentions of characterization tucks me deeper into my own world -- one that is not nearly as universal as I'd like it to be in these little moments comprised of sentences, when I want to say something revealing and sharp, so that it's like we still know each other. So it's like I'm sitting there right next to you.
