Turning Points & Private History

“What is a turning point in your life that I was there for, but you have never properly told me how it felt at the time?”

“Tell me about a day everything changed for you — with me somewhere in the frame.”

“Which phone call between us can you still hear?”

“Pick one of the big official days of your life — wedding, birth, divorce, diagnosis, the lot — and write down where I actually was in it.”

“Take a story we both tell smoothly at parties, and write the unedited version.”

“What was a turning point in the friendship itself — a moment the “us” changed gear?”

“When the move, the job or the love rearranged our geography, what did you privately think it would do to us?”

“What's something you knew about me before almost anyone else did?”

“What is one hard chapter in your life where having me as a friend changed something, even slightly?”

“What's the biggest risk or adventure we ever took together?”

“What's a decision one of us talked the other into — or out of?”

“What grief have we carried together?”

“What's something I did that made you prouder than you ever said at the time?”

“Together: draw the timeline of us.”
