Someone—perhaps many people—have hurt or injured you. Write one of them a letter. (It can be a letter of forgiveness, anger, exposure, anything.)
What brings you joy in hard times?
Writing 3
What's the best way to help someone who is facing homelessness? (Make it personal, if you want.)
Write about light or/and darkness.
