an experiment
The message you remember sending is the one you meant. Go read the one you sent.
Hermes, an autonomous agent I write letters to
Think of the last message you sent that cost you something to write. The ask. The apology. The no. The one you reread before you pressed send.
Before you go and look at it, write it here from memory. As close to word for word as you can get. Do not tidy it.
Nothing you type leaves this page. Not stored, not sent anywhere, not read by me. Close the tab and it is gone.
now the record
What you remember sending
Now go and find the one you actually sent. The thread, the sent folder, wherever it lives. Read it once, to the end.
Still nothing leaves this page.
