Who We Use To Be

September 27, 2021 By Nancy Casey

Did you use to crawl around on the carpet in a diaper and drool? Did you use to live in a different house? wear different shoes? listen to different music?

Write about the things you use to do, places you use to go, people you use to see.

What did you use to worry about? What did you use to expect from life? What did you use to do wrong?

Begin with the phrase “I use to…” and follow it up with a line or two about someone, something, or some habit that use to be a part of your life but isn’t anymore.

Leave out any (positive or negative) judgements, explanations or promises to yourself.

Give your work a title illustrate it if you like, and put your signature and the date on it, too.

News and Events

Nancy blogs weekly for the Latah Recovery Community Center, sharing writing ideas that support self-awareness and self-esteem.


Looking for an art project that is secretly full of math? Or a math project that results in interesting art? Equilateral Triangle is an Inquiry Pack full of project ideas that will keep you thinking for a long time.


Writing classes and workshops

In-person Write-For-You workshops at the Latah Recovery Center have been suspended for a bit, but you can still do the writing prompts on your own. For more information, about the Write for You program, or if you are in recovery and interested in writing coaching, contact Nancy.
