ApoptyGina69 This would turn into a passive-aggressive litany! Awful face to face, but maybe good exercise to get it out of one's system. Neat idea. 👍 8y

Rachel.Rencher I could see this turning into a very "10 Things I Hate About You" type letter 8y

Reviewsbylola That sounds very compelling! 8y

rajithr You may hit upon that line between love and hate, and who knows, perhaps flip 😀 8y

Today's #freewrite. My answer is always: books!

Lmstraubie Of course! And you could follow up with what is the best gift you've ever give. Books of course! 🤓 8y

Bookwm85forever Books for sure!! 8y

Megld4 Gift card to Barnes and Noble and chocolate! That person knew me very well. 8y

Jas16 A painting that he created for my birthday. 8y

Jokila A dog 😊 8y

HippieChickHomeschool My best friend made a beautiful watercolor of my beloved cat who died. I cried and cried, but I love it. 8y

dragondrool My big sister taught me to read. ☺ 8y

Sarah83 A day at the north sea. I live in the middle of Germany so this is quite a trip for only one day. 😉 8y

Foragingfantasy I once had a friend offer to be a surrogate for my husband and me. We cried and blubbered. We didn't accept, and finally did get pregnant, but it was one of the most beautiful gifts I've ever been offered. 8y

NCNY The day after my father's funeral, a family friend brought over a whole thanksgiving dinner for my family. She didn't even stay - she brought it and left so my family could have time together. I tear up every time I think about it. 8y

MyNamesParadise My friend made a small canvas painting of all of these classic and bestselling books and amongst them she had included a book with my last name and I was among the classics and bestsellers! I was so touched, I cried! It's on display on my bookshelf! 8y

MyNamesParadise Also when I was nervous about my winter term studying abroad trip my friend had taken a picture of her two chihuahuas on her fancy Polaroid camera and she gave it to me before I went away saying they'd always be with me! It's been a few years and they've both passed away but I keep that photo with me all the time! 8y

Vexingcircumstance Mine is an odd one to explain. When I was in middle school a friend got me a Wet and Wild Orange lipstick for Christmas. That always comes to mind when someone mentions best gifts from friends. Not because I really wanted an orange lipstick but because she got because I was just getting into makeup and likes weird colors. She put thought in to it and her family didn't have much money. Like...everything was a struggle for them. So that $1 lipstick 8y

Vexingcircumstance Probably required her to negotiate a lot with her mom to get the money for it. She may have even had to save her random change she found. It meant a lot to me that she put thought and effort into getting me a gift when it wasn't an easy thing for her to do. So, I've always remembered it. 8y

Today's #freewrite -- for some reason, soccer was a popular answer! #teachersofLitsy

Laalaleighh "Mad about" I love that that phrase has become so accepted. I used it once in school and my teacher was like "why did this upset you?" 8y

RealBooks4ever @Laalaleighh 😆 Maybe teaching isn't a good career for that person! 8y

Laalaleighh @RealBooks4ever haha she was just from a different time. The concept that words change meaning over time was not one she wanted to deal with haha. 8y

moranadatter Wow! I wouldn't have expected soccer. 8y

Today's #freewrite -- one of my students exclaimed in horror: "I'll be almost 40!" #teachersofLitsy

scripturient The horror, the horror! 😂😂 Well, I'm forty and it didn't even hurt. 😊 8y

Reviewsbylola Lol! I am pretty much right where my teenage self thought I would be. But it's not quite been 20 years! (and yes, that would have seemed super old to me). 8y

OrangeMooseReads LOL 😂😂 8y

MyNamesParadise I'm scared to think about the future. I do it until the point I get sick 8y

Today's #freewrite prompt -- most of my students said "no one!" because of fears of being judged. #teachersofLitsy

Tamra Thought provoking question! 8y

Paperback.Propensity Ooooh that's a good one! 8y

saresmoore This makes me uncomfortable. 8y

Bookladylinda Interesting!!!!!! 🤔🤔🤔🤔 8y

Tamra I would say my husband, but he might not like every thought! 😂 Imagine the discord this could cause in all kinds of relationships! 8y

OrangeMooseReads Nobody. Not out of fear of judgment but because I think bad things about people some times and I don't need them knowing my instant thoughts or what I honestly think about them, some things are best left unknown/unsaid. I also have embarrassing things in my thoughts that nobody will EVER know lol. 8y

MicheleinPhilly ABSOLUTELY NO ONE! 8y

merelybookish I'm with the students. No one! 8y

LeahBergen Not. A. Soul. 😂 8y

TrishB Definitely no one! 8y

CrowCAH Haven't found the right person to completely trust, so no one at this time. 8y

BooksAtNight Does it have to be human? I'll be the cat person in the room and say my cats. They already judge me so it's not I lose anything. Plus, opposable thumbs means they still have to put up with me! 8y

IamIamIam I barely have a filter when I speak so you can only imagine what goes on in my head first!!!! Lol, definitely nobody, not even my husband!!! 8y

RealBooks4ever No one, I flatly don't trust anyone for anything! 😜 8y

CouronneDhiver Good grief... can you imagine?! 😜 Definitely no one... 8y

MoniqueChristine No one. I have depression and anxiety and I wouldn't wish that nonsense on anyone. Because let's be real, anyone who can hear my every thought would be in for one heck of bad time. On top of just having too many negative and contradictory thoughts, I'm constantly having to challenge those thoughts and dismantle them...yeah no. I don't hate anyone enough X-D 8y

BookishMarginalia @Monique Yep, I'd have a lot of that too. And @BooksAtNight You have a point! 8y
