  1. What do I want to say?

    Write the words as they come. You can leave this note unsent.

  2. What am I hoping for?

    Name what you would like to happen. What parts are within your control?

  3. What can I choose next?

    Pick one small action: put the phone down, take a walk, or speak with someone you trust. You can decide later whether a practical conversation is needed.

You don't need to complete every prompt or make a decision now. Keep your writing wherever feels private to you.
