What does relationship mean to you?
Recall a memory of your first relationship? Do you remember a stuffed animal or a caring for a pet? Does a situation with a parent, relative or first friend come to mind?
How do you relate to the importance of yourself in regard to others?
Consider also relationships to the environment, money, and nutrition. How have you related in the past and in the present?
What themes appear in your communication with family, friends, a spouse, or love partnership? Do you recall your first infatuations? How did you deal with betrayals? Do you carry past frustrations into other situations?
How did you perceive these relationships back then? Did you feel a reciprocity or an unequal give and take? What do you notice about your current relationships that reflect back to the initial ones?
Creative Write: Write about a relationship that helps you learn more about yourself. Write first from the moment of a communication. Then write from your current wisdom and sense of self. What have you learned? What do you need to continue working on?
What insights does writing about a relationship provide? Let the flow help you create a character for a story. Choose a name for the character and move him or her into the relationship. How does your character communicate within the challenges?
