The prompt

I want to get back in touch with . We haven’t really spoken in , because . Write three messages, each under 60 words: one light, one honest about the gap, and one built around a memory of . No guilt, no long explanation, and no question they have to answer. Make it easy for them to reply warmly, briefly or not at all. Then read each one as someone who felt hurt by the silence, tell me where it could sting, and say which you’d send.
