Beacon in the Storm

Imagine a difficult time in your life as a storm. Describe the storm from its onset, how you weathered it, and then the clearing skies that followed.

This prompt uses the metaphor of a storm to help you process past traumas and understand how you’ve grown from them. Narrate the onset, duration, and end of the storm. Describe the challenges, fears, or doubts you faced during the storm. Then, reflect on the growth that came after the storm—how the skies cleared, how you rebuilt, and how you became stronger in the aftermath.
