content note: mentions bipolar disorder and mental health.
I had a messy epiphany I couldn’t wait to make neat: 2080 is coming. Whether I’m here or not, every day between now and then I’m guaranteed to be with one person — me. That thought used to feel like a prison. Today, it feels like a project: build a mind that’s a home.
This is a note-to-self about designing your “mental house” on purpose — studying your patterns, documenting your days, and choosing practices that make your own company good company. Not because you’ll remember every detail, but because the act of noticing changes you. Ten years of journals taught me that I’ve always had a thread I can pull through the chaos — showing up messy, starting again, turning life into pages, photos, and little field notes of becoming.
If 2080 is the horizon, journaling is the path. Documenting isn’t vanity; it’s self-study. It’s the difference between being trapped in your head and being at home there.
try this (5 minutes):
timestamp your horizon: write “2080” (or your own far year) on a sticky note. Put it where you’ll see it.
one page, no polish: answer, “what would make my inner world feel like home this week?”
pattern spotting: when you spiral, label the pattern once. When you steady, label that too. (Both are data; both are proof you can shift.)
strawberry of the day: the tiny, pleasant thing I’ll capture to remember the feeling of being alive today.
If you’re in a hard season, you’re not alone. In the U.S., call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. Wherever you are, please reach out to local resources or someone you trust.
love, berit
