Write to yourself a year out, pick a delivery date, and we hold the letter until then. When it lands, you have the option to write back.
Most letters to your future self are a snapshot. This one is a conversation across time. You write to the person you hope to become; later, when the letter arrives, you write back. That second letter — the reply — is where the real work happens. It’s where you see what you got right, where you drifted, and what wisdom is worth sending back to the version of you who started it.
Two letters, one purpose
An honest letter to the version of you reading this a year from now. What you hope you held onto. Who you hope you became.
When the letter arrives, a second set of prompts invites you to reply. What past-you got right, where you grew, what to send back.
Aim for your eulogy virtues — who you were, how you loved, the mark you left — rather than your résumé virtues. The prompts below will steer you there.
Eight prompts. Skip the ones that don’t land. Write to one person: yourself, twelve months from today.
