It’s a bit on the nose that Mercury allegedly retrograded itself during dead week. I think we’re all already feeling that time-standing-still, stew-in-your-juices, deep- December-doldrums without invoking celestial events. But I did find it funny to hear about the planet’s backwards turn after I decided to spend a whole evening this week going down the rabbit hole of my gmail archives. Like ohh, you got me! For hours I tore through more than 10-year-old correspondences with old friends, really let nostalgia rip. I even read old writings of mine, which I know people find cringe as a practice, but that’s never really the point for me; some of it stinks, some of it’s pretty good, but I just love that it exists, an accessible record I can revisit when I want to.
