Journal Prompts Part One

(Prompts are from The Human Being Journal)

I lose track of time when….

Writing poetry

Smoking hookah

Drinking alcohol (didn’t say it was a good thing)At Cape Cod

Playing Werewolf/ Mafia

Doing theater

Reading a good book

At bars and parties

In a hot tub or bubble bath

At lunch with friends

Collaging

Playing sports

Flirting (in my single days)

Preparing for parties

Talking about current events

Opening a present

Giving gifts

What’s not working for me right now….

Not getting any real exercise (I quit the gym because of health problems)Eating too much unhealthy food

Not having enough money for a big social life

Not having enough energy

Comparing myself to other people

This current social and political climate

Being so far away from Emily, Mary-Kate and Michael

Not enough room in my fireproof box

Love to me means….

Going back to get my blue vest from Red Robin on three hours of sleep

Putting up with my litany of disorders

Staying up with me when I was once on suicide watch

Driving me everywhere

Buying me Monster

Taking an interest in my hobbies (ex. poetry)Coming to family parties

Telling me I’m beautiful and making me feel it

Apologizing even when I’m being oversensitive 

Accepting my apologies

Trust

Believing in my potential

Encouraging me

Getting help for me when I need it

Some of my biggest unanswered questions in my life are….

Is there an afterlife?

Why does God intervene in some people’s lives and not in others?

Why do bad things happen to good people?

Am I a good person?

Am I living my life to the fullest extent?

What can I do to live my life further?

Why did —-- and —---- stop speaking to me?

Do soul mates exist?

Is there such a thing as destiny?
