I got an email from my past self today and it caught me off guard
Today I opened an email I had scheduled for myself a year ago. I barely remembered writing it.
It wasn’t long — just a few sentences and a photo — but reading it felt strangely comforting. Past me was stressed, unsure, and trying really hard… and current me kind of needed that reminder.
It made me realize how much changes quietly over time, even when it doesn’t feel like it day to day.
Has anyone else ever left something for their future self and forgotten about it?

Putting bias aside, the timing matters more than people admit and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone Interested to see the follow-up.
