Finding Light in the Dark

Pick a time in your life when you felt overwhelmingly unhappy, but now can see a positive aspect or outcome of that experience.

It’s often hard to imagine that a positive outcome can come from a challenging, dark time in your life, particularly during those teen years. This prompt aims to help you unwrap pain or sadness to uncover any silver linings or epiphanies that arose from your most difficult days. Analyze how those moments, although painful, may have contributed to your growth or changed your perspective in a beneficial way.
