Look into your screenshots folder.

Look at the bedroom walls you loved, poems you collected, texts you gathered as evidence, memes you stored as ammunition, sentences you hoarded, dresses you long to own, ideas you wish to practice, places you may never visit but perhaps one day…, pottery you hope to make, songs you never want to lose, accounts you don’t want to forget, recipes, recipes, recipes, that quote by Anthony Bourdain, a dialogue from an obscure film that defined your state of mind perfectly, a seasonal chart of fish, a memory circa Facebook 2006, a hedgehog in a hat, a desk by a window looking into the Mediterranean sea, your father- aged 21 laughing in a chikankari kurta, three paragraphs on grief, the world’s oldest tree…

Look again at all that saved material and you’ll find a picture of who you are and even, who you hope to be.
