what do you wish someone had asked you lately?

there is a particular kind of quiet that comes from carrying something no one has thought to ask about. this is about that gap.

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 down the question you wish someone had asked. don't overthink it, just let the first one arrive. then sit with why that question matters. who do you wish had asked it? what would you have said if they had? write the answer you would have given, even if it would have come out messy. sometimes the thing you most want to be asked reveals exactly what you most want to say. if more than one question comes to mind, write those down too. notice if there is a pattern. notice if the same person keeps appearing.

  • think about a specific moment this week when someone could have asked, and didn't.
  • write the conversation as it would have gone if they had asked.
  • consider whether the question you're waiting for is one you could ask yourself.

this one is for you if you've felt invisible lately, or if you've been around people and still felt like something important went unsaid.
