what did you almost give up on that you’re glad you didn’t?
there was a point where you nearly stopped. the reasons were real, and quitting made sense. but something in you kept going.
every day there's one live question, the same for everyone. answer it anonymously, see what other people said. it's all gone in seven days.
answer today's question →write about the thing you almost gave up on. a relationship, a project, a version of yourself. describe the moment when you were closest to walking away. what did it feel like. what were you telling yourself. then write about what made you stay, or try again. it might not have been courage. it might have been stubbornness, or accident, or someone else's words at the right time. name it honestly. then write about where that thing is now, and what it means to you that you held on. you don't need to wrap it in a lesson. just notice it.
- write about the lowest point, when giving up felt like the most rational option.
- describe the thing, or person, or thought that tipped you back towards staying.
- write about how it feels now to look back at that near miss.
this is for people who stayed when they could have left, and who are only now starting to see what that meant. for anyone who needs reminding that they've done hard things before.
