Joan Didion writes, in On Keeping a Notebook, that the purpose of keeping a notebook, or a journal for that matter, isn’t because you simply want keep a personal record of things; but because you want to remember the person you were at that specific moment. we write things down on our notebook/journal/diary (whichever one of those you keep) because we want to remember. we want to remember what specific people meant to us on a particular day or hour. or minute. we want to remember our first impression of something (or of doing that something), possibly of someone, too. sometimes we think we’ll “always remember” important events: “I’ll make a mental note of that” etc etc. but in reality everything is fleeting. so Didion says write it down. keep a journal. that way, people, places, and certain events will always be there in case you ever want to come back to them sometime in the future. but also so that they don’t ever haunt you.

Obsessed with the idea that Gale’s babushka era was Bucky’s doing. He saw Gale shivering and maybe getting sick and dug up some sort of scarf/sweater/blanket thing and wrapped Gale up and fussed over it to make sure it was warm and Gale kind of hates it because it looks silly but it *is*really warm and he won’t begrudge it because it seems to make Bucky feel better.
this has been a vocal stim since i first fucking heard it. idk it just tickles my brain a little
