Journal prompt 3

Hello my lovelies,

I'm so sorry for not writing anything last weekend, but I was ill. I'm feeling much better now. So today's journal prompt is actually a few letter prompts. I was reading a lovely encouraging book called "101 Distractions from Depression, Self-harm (and other soul destroyers)," where she presented the idea of writing a letter to someone you're angry with and not sending it. This gave me the idea of the following prompts:

1.Write a letter to your best friend, a cousin, or a sibling. Why is this person important to you? What have you learned from this person over the years? What character traits do you admire in this person? What has this person done that you are most proud of? Why do you respect this person?

2.Write a letter to your mother. What is your favorite childhood memory with her? What is the biggest lesson you learned from her?  What was your favorite thing to do with her? What is your favorite thing to do with her now? What was a sacrifice she made for you?  What did this sacrifice mean to you then and what does it mean now?  What character traits does she have that you admire/ would like to obtain?

Of course you do not have to send these out, you can journal these,  tell them to the person verbally, or just spend time reflecting on the memories. Please give me feedback. Tell me about the person you thought of, a memory, etc. Have a lovely day.
