My religion focuses a lot on connecting family eternally. Knowing who your ancestors are and sharing those stories with future generations.

Lots of family trees and collecting stories from the past. This year, I’m also focusing on leaving a record for the future. I signed up for a memoir writing class and procrastinated actually doing the classes before they expired.

However, this year one of my goals is to leave a record for my descendants. It’s also a good way to heal from past hurts. So once a month, I’ll be sharing my writing prompt for the month. I would love to have you join me and share your stories.

That said, this month’s prompt is talk about your teenage friends.

Who are they? What did you do with them? Are you still in touch? Why or why not? How did you meet them? What is your favorite memory of them? What is your biggest regret about them? What brings you shame when you think on that time?

I’ll post my story at the end of the month.
