When Things Are Hard — Prompt Card

read → pause → write

Part of The Art of Lost Communication — for the days you don't know how to start.

Some of the most important things are the hardest to begin. This card holds eight gentle openers, each one trailing off so you can finish it in your own words: "When you feel far from home —", "You can always call me, even if —", "Home will always have room for —", and five more.

Keep it in a drawer, a book, or the pocket of a journal. Pick one line, write what follows, and leave the rest for another day. There's no wrong way to finish a sentence.

Pair it with the Things I Want You to Know keepsake journal (sold separately), or tuck it into a care package for someone who's moved away.
