Congratulations! You and I made it to the last month of this year.

This year has been a mixture of emotions and circumstances. Some situations were life-changing. They helped us discover our hidden talents, explore our potentials, and be compassionate towards ourselves.

Many of us must have gone through a series of changes at the most unexpected moments. But they were also our top moments throughout the year.

So, I thought, why not share our biggest learnings and experiences through this year. Why not share the lessons that we wish to carry forward in 2022?

To help you get your thoughts running, here are a few Life Prompts to get you going –

  • The journey called 2021
  • When this moment in 2021 changed me
  • If I could do 2021 all over again, I would….
  • Thank you 2021 — you taught me…
  • Goodbye 2021 — Here are my few takeaways

You may write on one or all of these prompts whenever and however you feel like it.

Do remember to –

  • Add ‘Living Out Loud’ as one of the five tags before submission.
  • Tag another writer whom you think will have an interesting take on the prompt.

Wishing this incredible community at LOL a happy, peaceful, and prosperous festive season. Let's enter 2022 together with a warm hug and take all the vital lessons we learned this year.

Cheers!
