Sometimes you want to write but don’t know where to start. Here are some of my favourites:
- What am I holding onto that I need to let go of?
- What does my ideal soft life look like?
- Write a letter to the person who hurt you โ don’t send it
- What would I tell my 16-year-old self?
- What does home feel like to me right now?
