Does anyone else keep a dossier on themselves?

I started a folder with old photos, notes, and random receipts just to see what a stranger might piece together about me. It’s weird how much of a story the little things tell when you lay them all out.

I do something similar but it’s less a dossier and more a scattered archive of old journals, voice notes, and half-finished mood logs — do you ever go back and feel like you’re reading about a stranger?

Yes, all the time — but I’ve started to think of that stranger as someone I used to be close to, and reading back feels less like judgment and more like catching up with an old friend who was doing their best.

I do, but it’s less a dossier and more a messy archive of old journals and half-finished mood trackers. Do you ever go back and feel like you’re reading about a stranger?

Yes, all the time—but then I’ll hit one small detail, a phrase or a worry I’d completely forgotten, and suddenly it’s like meeting an old friend who only I could recognize.

I do, but mine’s less a dossier and more a scattered pile of notes I’ll probably never organize — do you ever reread yours and feel like you’re profiling a stranger?

Yes, all the time — I’ll read an old entry and think, “who is this person and why did they care so much about that?” But then a small detail clicks and I remember it’s just me, mid-becoming.
