Writing Prompt: A Relationship that Helped Me Grow
Who is someone that helped shape you into who you are today?

The people we choose to share our lives with can have more influence than we even know.
We’d love to know about one of those relationships. A relationship where you learned a big life lesson, or even just someone who wholeheartedly supported you along the way.
Was it a romantic relationship that went south? A familial relationship of someone who stood by you? A mentor that supported you? A friendship that shaped you?
Let’s share our stories of those crucial relationships and who we are as a result.

The only request we have is to format the title this way:
A Relationship that Helped Me Grow: __________________
Include a few words in the blank that summarizes your story. You can add any subtitle you wish.
Please also use the tag “Relationships”. That will organize all these stories in the Relationships section on Modern Women.
If you’re so inclined, we’d love for you to include a link to this writing prompt at the bottom of your story (best as an embedded link) so others can get inspired to write with us too.
Have fun sharing! We look forward to reading about your relationships.
With love, Megan
