Why these prompts help
Relationships often get tangled in your head because they're emotional, recurring, and rarely simple. Writing untangles them. A page later, you can usually see what you actually want from a person, what you've been carrying that isn't yours, and what conversation needs to happen — or doesn't.
It also protects the relationships themselves. The page absorbs the first, messiest version of your feelings, so what you bring to the other person is the second, more honest version — calmer, clearer, kinder.
How to use them
•
Write about one person at a time; resist generalising.
•
Notice what you'd say if there were no consequences — then ask what's true in it.
•
Use the page to draft hard conversations before having them.
•
Be as fair to them as you'd want them to be to you on the page.
