Black Things and Bright Things

September, 2021 "I like having a new notebook. It feels like I could start again. I have to finish this one first; that’s the rule. But the new one’s here. It’s here beside me now, waiting. The cover is soft and smooth. It’s not shiny, it’s a matt black which you feel you could fall into and get lost in, like a summer midnight. The elastic feels secure; it holds the pages together, so none of my thoughts can go missing, or escape, or get seen.
