Why don't you consider uploading it to the cloud?
That is what I did with metamask phrases. I remember the password of my email. And in fact, all I need to remember is the password of my email, I synced everything, so when I log in to Gmail, everything automatically gets synced, and I have the doc where my seed phrase is saved.
I'd recommend that, it is convenient, easy.
It seems convenient but storing your seed phrase on a cloud service is is one of the most insecure way of seed storage. A lot of things could go wrong for you, from a simple account hack where your password is leaked to bigger catastrophic events where the cloud service itself gets hacked and everyone's accounts and their content is leaked where users aren't even informed for a long time while the company covers it up.
I agree with you, uploading it to a cloud account is a mistake to save the seed phrase, it's not a wise solution at all considering there are lots of hacks and it's easy to get hacked even if your account is paid, by like using phishing or direct monitoring of the device you use and there are many other ways to access cloud accounts.
And it's better to save the seed phrase in a place that is not connected to the internet to be safer from hacking. If you want to keep doing that, I suggest not keeping the original, or you can change the word in your seed phrase with a synonym or antonym for the word to outwit hackers.
