Actually, I would have made the same claim half a year ago. The only difference is that I have a different model of what the words “internal monologue” mean—that, and I’ve done some extra modelling and introspection for a novel.
Yes, now you have a mental model that allows you to believe “I do have an internal monologue, sometimes” back then you didn’t. What I did write was intended to create that model in your mind.
To me it seems like it worked. It’s also typical that people backport their mental models into the past when they remember what happened in the past.
