It’s May! Summer is within our grasp! I can taste the watermelon jalapeño margaritas as we speak! May is an even better month for looking inward than January, in my opinion. Less pressure, better weather, and enough distance from who you were at the start of the year to see some things more clearly.

These journal prompts move through the month like a loose conversation: who you were, what you’re carrying, what you might be circling without naming it. There’s no order of operations. No theme to complete. Just a question a day, and whatever comes up.
