In my mind, I've made it a priority to begin writing myself letters. Before you assume I'm completely insane, let me explain. Do you remember when you were in second grade and your teacher would have you write your older, high school self a letter? It usually included details of your current favorite television show and your best friend.
I remember those little notes and now I look back in laughter at my younger self. Now, wouldn't it be interesting to write yourself letters to open on the day of high school graduation, the day you move out, the day of your wedding, when you have your first child, etc.? Except, the letters I would write now would include details and would be extensive.
I believe that so many important things to me right now will soon be distant, forgettable memories. I would be devastated if I could not remember all my friends, stupid things we did, funny things my brothers said, or anything else in between. If I wrote my future self about how stressed out and nervous I was for the future, I would later be able to look back with a smile on my face.
Even having letters to open on some of the most important days of my life would be phenomenal and I just would find them to be lovely tokens from the past. If I wanted, I could even show them to my kids or read over them on a rainy day. It would be beyond amazing to see how I have changed.
As people, we change so much in short periods of time without even realizing it. It's time to start enjoying little moments more and holding them closer to our hearts. Before we know it, we may just forget it all. Until next time xxx.
