A few of the questions.

There are 50 in the book. These are some of them.

What did Saturdays feel like when you were ten?Walk me through one, hour by hour.


Who came home at the end of the day? How did you know it was them before you saw them? What happened in the house the minute they walked in?


Who was your first real crush, or the first time you were actually in love? Not how it ended. Just what it felt like to carry it around every day.


What’s something you almost did that would have completely changed your life? A job, a city, a person, a different path. How close did you actually get?


Is there something you did that you’ve never fully forgiven yourself for? Not a crime. Just a moment where you were weak, selfish, or cowardly. What happened?


What was it actually like when you became a parent? The first hours, the first weeks. Not the version you told people. The real version.


Did you ever make a big decision and tell everyone it was for one reason, when really it was because you were scared? What was the decision? What were you actually afraid of?


If this book ends up being the only version of you that someone who never met you gets to know — what do you most want them to understand about who you were?
