Isabellaaa plans on putting more effort into this list.

Untitled 7 months ago

I felt kind of stupid at first.
But then I starter to really get into it, after about 10 minutes.
I just wrote all about my thoughts and feelings at the time, the careers and paths I had in mind, and some things I want myself to remember when I open it.
I only wrote it a few weeks ago, and I was cleaning out my room last night and I found it in a sealed envolope in the back of my diary. I didn’t open it, but I wrote another one to go with it because it reminded me of all these things I need to remember. About what’s really important, and no matter what- I should be proud of the things I’ve achieved :]

Wow... I am speechless. 11 months ago

I just spent the last 2.5 hours writing a letter to my future self on futureme.org, and all I did was babble on about my life right now. I’m not even going to try to summarize everything I wrote about, it was simply too much. My hobbies, my friends, my family, my pets, my boyfriend, school, my expectations in life, my career wishes… it’s all included in there. Most people on that site write a short little paragraph on their expectations they have in themselves. I flipping wrote a 5-page essay! xD
I have sent the letter to both my e-mail accounts, just to make sure I get it. It should be arriving in about ten years, when I have my own life set up, and when I can compare and contrast who I am now and who I will be then.
Just in case, I made sure to include an encouraging paragraph that’ll be nice to read if I screw up majorly. But since I’m not expecting that to happen, I will now go to bed and smile about everything I have accomplished today. Writing this letter was one of the best things I have done in a long time… and I hope that I will think the same in a decade.

I discovered that I might be better off if I spoke out my wishes clearly.



Untitled 11 months ago

I want to write a letter to my future self to remember these days. Now that I’m at a point in my life where I have to decide what I want to do with my life I want to write down my thoughts and feelings and see how I will change.

I might write a letter every week or every month but I definitely want to do it on a regular basis.

Receive a letter from my future self. 14 months ago

I have this goal on here because I find it interesting for some reason, but am not sure why. I was rearranging and contemplating goals today and felt on the fence about this one. I don’t know what I would need or want to say to a future self. I mean, would I just want to remind her of what life was like for me? My outlook? What my mother is like, what being single and childless is like, what I panic about? I have no idea. What would she want to know that she couldn’t find out by reading an old journal? What I really want is to receive a letter from my future self. I want her to write to me and tell me what to do, reassure me somehow that I can do the right things and make life turn out alright.

So, today I wrote a letter to my past self. I’m going to pop it in the mail and mark it 1990, and then maybe in a few days I’ll get something from my future self. I don’t care if it’s my 40 year old or 80 year old selves that write. I’m sure any of my future selves will have something wonderfully helpful to say. I can’t wait.

Dear ben... 15 months ago

going to e-mail this to my future self. http://www.futureme.org/ is a good idea. :)



rovingjack is putting too much on his plate.

I think I'm done with this one. 16 months ago

A quick glance at the one I thought needed to be finished seemed to say it was good enough. I’m going to fold an origami envelope for it and tuck it into a photo album for now. In a year (actually less now) on my birthday when I read it I will pull it out and paste it into a journal. I’m calling it good and done, I do plane to make a few more soon. But for now I’m just going to take it off the list.
