what would you say to yourself this time next year?
a year is long enough for everything to change and short enough that you can almost see yourself there. what do you want that version of you to hear.
every day there's one live question, the same for everyone. answer it anonymously, see what other people said. it's all gone in seven days.
answer today's question →write a short letter to yourself, dated one year from today. start with where you are right now, honestly. what you are struggling with, what you are hoping for, what you are afraid of. then write what you want to remind your future self of. not goals or resolutions. something truer. maybe it is a feeling you do not want to forget. maybe it is a warning. maybe it is permission to rest if things did not go the way you planned. write as if this is the only message that will reach them. keep it plain and real.
- write about what you most hope will be different in a year, and what you are afraid will be the same.
- describe what you need your future self to remember about how things feel right now.
- write the one thing you would forgive yourself for in advance, if you could.
this is for someone at a turning point, or someone who just wants to leave a small, honest mark for the person they are becoming.
