Relationship Journal Prompts

Write about the people in your life. These prompts help you think through connection, distance, and the conversations you keep putting off.

9 prompts

  1. Who do you need to have a difficult conversation with? What's holding you back?
  2. Write about someone who believed in you when you didn't believe in yourself.
  3. What relationship in your life needs more attention right now?
  4. Describe a friendship that has shaped who you are today.
  5. What is something you wish you could tell someone but haven't?
  6. How have your closest relationships changed over the past year?
  7. What qualities do you value most in the people around you?
  8. Write a letter of appreciation to someone (you don't have to send it).
  9. Think of a recent conflict. What did it teach you about yourself?

Writing about someone is not the same as talking to them, and it is not a substitute. It is a way to work out what you actually think before the conversation happens.
