Memory Vault

Start with whatever comes to mind

These prompts can bring back people, places, and everyday moments from your past. Choose a prompt that sparks a memory and jot down a few words.

For example, under Places, choose “Our family car…” and write “Our wood-paneled station wagon in the 1970s.”

Your saved memories will appear on the next page, Memories to Explore, where we'll help you choose one to turn into a story.

A few words are enough. Skip any prompts you like—you can always come back.
