A blank page is the hardest part of journaling. These 31 prompts mix gratitude, reflection and letters, to your past self, your future self and people you'll never send them to. They repeat monthly, so you'll see how your answers change.
The calendar only shows the prompt. Write wherever you like: paper, your notes app, or an app that keeps letters private.
Dear You: Daily Letters: A private journal of daily letters and sealed letters to your future self.
