Today I found a secret library of journals kept by my past lives. Now I'm supposed to start one as well, to add to the collection.

So, greetings to the future me in my next life who may be reading this. Although, I do hope that by the end of this life I won't need to remember or know anything at all about the history of my soul, which is... much more vile and shameful than I would have ever expected.

Am I foolish for expecting better of myself? Narcissistic?

In any case, it's my responsibility to undo the damage that I apparently have brought upon our world. Let's hope that this version of me is good enough to fix it. Based on what I've read so far of my other lives, clearly they- I mean, I- failed.

I may wait until I finish reading the other journals before I continue writing in this one. For continuity's sake. And so I can be fully informed. Right... So I should do that. I'm not terrified at all to find out I'm yet even more despicable. Ugh, stop being such a coward, Penelope. The world needs you. Me. Her. Them. Us. You know what I mean.
