I am using Google Hangouts via Gmail on a desktop web browser, and I want to send a text message to myself. Is it possible? And if yes, how?

You can achieve this by having a named group chat with no other members.

Start a new conversation, choose New Group, and enter a name for the group. After typing a name, you can start the group without having to add any people to it.

You'll need to send a message before leaving this screen, or the group will not get added to your conversation list. Once you've sent a message in the group, you can continue to use this group to message yourself in the future, or you can leave the group to terminate it.
