Turning Points & Private History
Post this one“When the move, the job or the love rearranged our geography, what did you privately think it would do to us?”
Built for distance. Answer it apart, wherever you are, and send it — post it, photograph it, read it down the phone. Then it’s the other one’s move.
Why this question
The forecast you never said out loud.
And once you’ve both answered
Post this one across the very distance it's about. Your move.
Answering it honestly
- Answer it on your own, wherever you are, before you see theirs. Distance is the feature here, not the obstacle.
- Send the actual answer — post the page, photograph it, read it down the phone. Then it's their move.
- Resist the urge to soften it in transit. The unedited version is the one worth posting.
And the house rule, whatever the mode: leave a blank rather than write a lie. A blank can be filled later; a lie sits in the archive forever, and you both have to live with the paperwork.
