Sample Prompt:
Day 1: Write It Raw
"There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness."
- Friedrich Nietzsche
Are you holding imagery conversations with your ex in your head? Ones where you get to say what you didn't get to say when your relationship ended?
Obsessing over what should have been is unhealthy and sucks the positive energy out of you. It's exhausting to be fighting with him, even mentally, but the urge to communicate with him is so strong that you want to pick up the phone (again) and speak your mind.
Do not contact him. He hurt you. Don't give him the chance to hurt you again.
Write down your feelings in your journal instead. What do you blame him for? What do you want to say to him? Are you angry with him? Do you miss him?
Use as many pages as you want. Pretend you're writing a letter directly to him. But do not send it. Do not contact him and read it out loud to him. Doing so will greatly risk you being trapped in the same cycle of negativity.
This should be a safe experience to explore your pain in order to put it behind you, not to stir up more arguments with someone who caused the pain in the first place. If you're energized by this outpouring of emotion and feel a strong urge to share it, call a trusted friend instead.
