The goals you wrote in January, lost in a notes app by March.

Notes get buried, journals stay closed, and the person you were today is hard to remember a year from now. A letter that arrives on a date you chose, in your own voice, is a conversation with the person you are becoming.

Letter to my future self, one year from now

Hi, future me. Right now I am sitting on the kitchen floor with cold coffee, nervous about the new job. I hope you are proud of how brave I was today. Whatever happened, I hope you are still kind to yourself.

New Year letter to my future self

Happy New Year from last January. My three goals were to run a 10K, call Grandma every Sunday and save for the trip. Be honest. How did we do? Either way, start again tomorrow.

Birthday letter to my future self

Happy birthday, me. A year ago I wished for more calm, fewer late nights and one real adventure. I hope you got at least two of those, and I hope you ate cake for breakfast.

Letter to my future self after graduation

You did it. You finished. A year from now I hope you are doing work that makes you curious, living somewhere with good light, and still texting the friends who got you through finals.

Letter to my future self before a big move

Tomorrow we move to a new city where we know nobody. If you are reading this and feeling lonely, remember that it took months to love the old place too. Say yes to every invite.

Letter to my future self on a fresh start

Day one. I am writing this so you remember how hard today was and how much you wanted it. If you are still going, I am so proud of you. If you slipped, read this and begin again.

Questions people ask

How far ahead can I send a letter to my future self?

Up to a year. Pick any date and time in the next twelve months and it is delivered to the email address you choose.

Is it free?

Yes. Your first three letters every month are free, and a letter to your future self counts as one of them.

What should I write in a letter to my future self?

Write what today looks like, what you hope will change, what you are worried about and one question for future you. The six examples above are good starting points.

Can anyone else read it?

The letter opens from a private link that only goes to the email address you choose. It is not listed or searchable anywhere.

Can I add a voice note?

Yes. Add a voice note of up to 60 seconds and a photo. Hearing your own voice from a year ago is the part people remember.

One letter is $3.99, or Unlimited is $6.99 a month.
