who do you want to find your way back to?

there's someone you keep almost reaching out to. not because you forgot them, but because the distance still doesn't feel right.

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 the name down. don't explain it yet, just let the name sit on the page. then write about what you remember most clearly about being with them. what did you feel like in their company. try to name the moment when the distance started, even if it was gradual. was it a choice, a circumstance, or something you still can't quite explain. write about what finding your way back would actually look like. not the fantasy version, but the real, awkward, honest one. and then ask yourself: what's stopping you right now.

  • write about what you were like when you were still close to this person.
  • describe the last real conversation you had with them, as much as you can remember.
  • write a sentence you'd want to say to them if you knew they'd just listen.

this is for anyone who carries a name with them that they haven't said out loud in a while. the ones who notice the gap but haven't known what to do about it.
