Every story eventually reaches a moment when the writer steps back. When it's no longer them deciding where the tale will go next. But you. This is that moment. Where you can take the pen into your own hand— or just a thought into your heart. Where you don't have to be loud. It's enough to be true.
So now... we switch roles.
Are you ready?
This is your fairytale now. Continue it in a way that you'll never have to hide yourself in it again.
What did you have to let go of in order to arrive back to yourself?
What did this book teach you—if anything at all?
What's something you knew as a child but forgot as an adult?
Is there someone you've forgiven... without them ever knowing?
When was the last time you felt fully present—in body and in soul?
Which feeling do you hide most often— and what would happen if you didn't?
Have you ever experienced a moment when time stood still— and if so, why?
Sometimes we carry burdens that were never really ours. What are you still carrying that you should've let go of long ago?
Who you appear to be often differs from who you truly are. Who would you be, if no one were watching for a single day?
Silence can sometimes be louder than any sentence. When was the last time you stayed silent—while something inside you screamed?
The past doesn't always end where it stops. What's something you can't forget— but no longer wish to remember?
Every story contains a moment where you get to choose: continue it, or rewrite it. What would you place at the end of your story right now: a period, a comma... or a brand new sentence?
