Thought the 1 minute to list words was good but 2 minutes to write 1 or 2 paragraph was certainly a challenge. So here’s what I came up with. Apologize if more than 150 words - did this on my iPhone Notes app and don’t have a clue if there is feature for word count. Sitting at my booth at a farmers markets so thought I take a stab at this exercise.

I left home for many reasons one of which was gaining some peace - peace of mind you could say though who at 18 is really looking for peace of mind. Growing up with my father and aunt was not easy. My father mourned my mothers’ passing every single day and I felt it especially since she died having me. No doubt he continues to mourn her to this today. The heaviness of knowing every time he looked at me he saw her and grief rose up in him as if brand new was just unbearable. While I want to believe he’s healed and will welcome my return - I’m doubtful.
