  • April 15, 2026: The Weight of Should

    There’s a part of us that wants guarantees.

    It looks for clarity, outcomes, and reassurance before taking a step. But becoming doesn’t always offer that.

    Prompt: Write a letter to the part of you that carries the weight of “should.”

    You could reflect on:

    • Where these shoulds came from
    • What they cost you
    • What happens when you set them down

    Write with compassion.
