Remember there’s no one right or wrong away to address these!</p><h2 id="9e68">What’s something you regret saying?</h2><p id="2fd0">What would happen if you said it again, but the right way, to whoever you need to say it to?</p><h2 id="870e">What’s your earliest memory of being alone?</h2><p id="8aac">Did “being alone” turn into loneliness? Or did you learn to like being by yourself?</p><h2 id="e17f">If you could choose to forget one memory, which one would it be?</h2><p id="b74b">Why? What would change?</p><p id="fde6">Write whatever these prompts inspire — whether that’s creative nonfiction, fiction, poetry, or something else — and post it on Medium. Tag it #Writehere so we can all find each others’ work. Now, go forth and write (and read!
