Forward Together

“Together: list the things we keep saying we'll do — then commit to one, with a date.”

“What do you hope this friendship still is in ten years' time?”

“As life fills up, what about this friendship most needs protecting?”

“Make me a promise about the hard seasons that haven't happened yet.”

“Together: plan the trip. Properly, this time.”

“Describe us as properly old friends — decades from now, still at it.”

“What new chapters are coming in your life — and what role do you want me to play in them?”

“Together, but eyes down: each write the toast you'd give for the other at the next big occasion.”

“What would we tell two friends just starting out — who want what we have?”

“Together: write the letter to this friendship's future — and co-sign it.”

“What was filling in this book actually like? Be honest.”

“The last word: one sentence each.”
