A Year of Writing to Uncover the Authentic Self

(7) Connections

1. Think of a relationship in your past (family, romantic, friendship, professional, etc.) How would your life be different without that connection? Tell a story of this connection. 2. Who is/was your best friend? What made the connection so strong? Is there a relationship you spent "too long" in? What made you keep trying? 3. What is the favorite friendship story of your life? What makes the story great (really dig deep into what kind of connections you felt)? 4. What would a deeply connected relationship look like to you? What would your role be in that relationship? 5. What about work relationships? Can you create more connections there? 6. If you are on social media, does it make you feel more or less connected to people (there are no wrong answers here, everyone is different)? Why do you think this is? 7. Are you in a current relationship that might not be serving you? (Note: I'm not suggesting you rush out and end the relationship, just explore this in writing for now if that feels right to you).
