It’s about the echo of eternity, the slow rot of time, and the haunting legacy we leave behind. But it’s also about machines — the phonograph, typewriter, telegraph — and how we use technology to preserve memory, reach loved ones, and whisper across centuries. We still do that. Through keyboards and screens, through ink and voice memos. We still try to be heard.
- What do I want to leave behind in this world—what mark, what myth? Consider the difference between a memory and a legend. Are you building something to be remembered... or something to haunt?
- How do I relate to ruins, old books, forgotten things? Why am I drawn to them? Trace the shape of your attraction to decay. Is it nostalgia, beauty, melancholy, or something deeper—something ancestral?
- Imagine your journal is found in a crypt 200 years from now. What truth do you want a future stranger to read? Write as if you are the ghost in the paper—what message do you leave behind in ink and dust?
- If my darker self wrote me a letter today, what would it say? Let the voice of your shadow self emerge—honest, unfiltered, possibly immortal. What wisdom or warning would it offer?
- What parts of me have already died, and what continues to live on through habit, memory, or myth? Decay isn’t just physical—it can be emotional, spiritual, or symbolic. What remnants of your past self still haunt you?
Write like you’ll never die.
