ACKNOWLEDGING DESIRE.
There is value in admitting what I want, even when I cannot yet pursue it.
THE THINGS WE DON'T SAY
I can give myself permission to express what matters to me.
REFLECTION
There are things we think about saying and then decide to keep to ourselves. Sometimes we're uncertain how our words will be received. Sometimes the moment passes, or we convince ourselves that what we're feeling isn't important enough to mention. Not every thought needs to be spoken, and privacy can be valuable. But there are occasions when a simple expression of appreciation, honesty, or affection can make a meaningful difference.
WRITE
Think of something kind or appreciative you've wanted to tell someone. What would you say if you weren't concerned about finding the perfect words?
CREATE
Write a sentence or phrase that matters to you. Incorporate it into a drawing using colors, patterns, or images.
LISTEN
Choose a song whose lyrics communicate something you've found difficult to express.
SHARE
What's something you wish people said to one another more often?
