Challenge
Re-write a moment in your life the way you wish it had gone.
Take one moment from your life that didn't go how you planned or wished for, and re-write it the way you would have liked it to go. Use as much or as little detail as you want. Take the time to get in touch with your feelings, and give yourself the freedom to be as vulnerable as you want.

dear friend
I wouldn't have said it
I wouldn't have said no
I wouldn't have looked away
I wouldn't have hurt you like that
But I was young
And pushing folks away was my defense
Against it all
And if I could go and take it back
gods
I'd take it back
all of it
because
that's not what you deserved
not from me
not from anyone
and knowing what I know now
about you
about me
about life
about love
The answer might still have been "no"
But
I wouldn't have said it
Not then
Not like that
Not in front of so many
I would have grabbed you
I would have faked it
maybe we couldn't make it
but
It would have been a damn sight kinder
Than admitting
we weren't gonna work
before even giving you a chance
to realize
why
