Cynthia’s Shoes

Imagine stepping into the shoes of someone who has broken your heart or hurt you deeply, and write about why they may have acted the way they did.

This prompt encourages empathy, understanding and forgiveness. By writing from their perspective, consider their motivations, their battles, frustrations and insecurities. This exercise might help you understand more about their actions and potentially bring some closure or at least some peace. This way you grow beyond pain and empathy becomes a catalyst in your personal development.
