Things I Would Miss as A Ghost

list

Mar 16

This is a gratitude list. It requires me to not only look at what I am grateful for, but also what my concept of a ghost is and how it could exist in the world which also makes it a creative prompt.

If you want to make a “things I would miss as a ghost list” here is what you need to do:

believe on some level, ghosts are real and possible
believe that you could become a ghost
consider the parameters and limitations that living as a ghost would have
look at the things you love/admire/have gratitude towards that you may not notice or be directly aware of in a simply human existence
write them down, make a list of all the things that make the human experience pleasurable or even just memorable
