I need to write a letter to someone from my past to process what happened — but I won't be sending it.
The person: [relationship to you]
What happened: [BRIEF]
What I never got to say: [WHAT'S STILL SITTING WITH YOU]
What I feel most: [anger / grief / confusion / relief / love]
Write a letter that:
1. Says what I actually wanted to say without filtering it
2. Acknowledges what was good without minimising what hurt
3. Names the impact this had on me honestly
4. Releases them (and myself) from the story I've been carrying
5. Ends with something I want to believe about my future
Then: write 3 reflection prompts for me to journal about after reading it
