I have been writing in a journal on an almost-daily basis since I was 17 years old. This is a record of me going through each entry from the beginning, and commenting on the me from fifteen years ago.

From our conversation, I guess Chris and I fell the same way about what’s coming. He sees some of the things I do. Together, we can do something. He gets me excited about doing.

I can’t remember what project Chris and I were working on at this point, but we had a lot of little schemes together. We did all kinds of business projects together, all of them completely botched and/or given up on, but we always pushed each other to go for it. We emboldened one another.
