Here is one of my first index cards with MANIFESTO notes on it. I think I wrote it on the train one day to go meet Melissa.

It reads:

“You are our almost-anonymous other, our imagined audience— the people we have maybe never met but who know our deepest secrets, you are the ones we write to late at night, who have taught us to be more honest in our storytelling and and in turn, have brought us closer to the truth about ourselves.”
