5-MINUTE FRIDAY: It's Time to Write a Really Important Letter
b'
In college, I was in a serious relationship with someone In the army who deployed to Afghanistan. During that relationship, I started writing letters on flights home. Wherever I would travel, whether it was for work or personal, my self-imposed rule was that I would write my significant other a little something on the trip back to New York. The relationship didn\\u2019t last, but the practice did. Now, to this day, whenever I\\u2019m on a plane \\u2014 I take the time to write someone a letter. A friend, a love interest, a family member, you name it. Often times, these letters are filled with things I may not be ready to say IRL. Things that I really need to get off my chest. Over the past couple months, life has shifted. These letters are something I miss, and something I\\u2019m starting to integrate back into my routine \\u2014 no flight necessary \\u2014 starting this weekend.
\\nPROMPT: Who would you write a letter to, and what would it say? Then, when you\\u2019re done, take the time to read it out loud. Ask yourself: How does this make you feel, hearing it? Does it inspire you to change something? Reach out to someone? I\\u2019m curious - let me know via DM or email.
