Write a letter to your future self on FutureMe.org
[SIZE=]What is this?/SIZE]
On this website you can write a letter to your future self and you can decide when it arrives. Image the excitement of getting a letter from the person you was a year ago, or 5!
I just wrote a letter to myself that will be delivered one month from now, I wanted to do a week but a month is the minimum timescale. But that's not all, every month I'm going to write to multiple future selfs. I already sent one to one month from now, and once I figure out what to say I'm going to write to 2 months from now, 6 months, a year, 2 years, 5 years, 10 years from now, maybe even more!
It can get crazy!
This obviously takes some time to reach full potential but imagine a time ten years from now, assuming I keep doing this. I get a letter from 1 month ago, one from 2 months ago, from 6 months ago, a year ago, 2 years ago, 5 years ago, and from today (10 years ago). I get to see how I was thinking, what my hopes were, my goals, regrets and what I was doing at multiple times in the past. I can also write replies. It's like a journal, but it's much more interesting. It might also give me some serious wisdom and insight by looking at my past predictions of the future and how it turned out.
How crazy?
I think the more letters I write the greater the fun, imagine receiving a letter from 10 different past selfs every single month. The longer you keep doing this the better it gets. If you read all the 1-month-into-future letters a year from now, you see a summary of your life of the past year in a way your memory can not summarize. And with that new insight you learn certain things about yourself and about life, maybe that insight changes the way you write to yourself. So here you are, 10 years from now. There is a shitload of letters. You can choose any month from the past 10 years and in every month that you look back at, you get to see yourself writing to multiple future selfs and replying to multiple past selfs. It's a complete network of multiple past selfs replying to multiple past selfs and writing to multiple future selfs. I should make a diagram :P
What do you think?
