Your Future Brighter Self

Imagine and write a letter from your future self, detailing how you’ve overcome your depressive thoughts in that brighter timeline.

Sometimes, when we’re in the thick of depression, imagining a better, brighter future can seem nearly impossible. This prompt challenges you to visualize it anyway. Picture yourself in the future, after weathering the storm, and write about the journey rife with lessons learned, strength gained, and dreams realized. It can serve as a powerful reminder that this suffering can be temporary and that a different, more hopeful reality does exist.
