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?
the idea isn’t bad, but the delivery is doing damage and that friction is hard to ignore That’s the key detail here. Hard to say where this lands long term. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
Stepping back, the direction makes sense but the details are messy That’s what makes this interesting. Interested to see the follow-up.

the intention might be solid, the rollout less so Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.

Not gonna lie, this feels more about execution than intent and that friction is hard to ignore That’s what changes the context.
Honestly, this depends heavily on what happens next That’s the impression it gives me.
the wording alone shifts how people read this which makes the reaction pretty predictable Others will probably see it differently.
From a neutral view, the logic is there, but the execution is uneven and that’s the part people are stuck on

there’s a gap between the message and the outcome and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone Not convinced this is settled yet. That’s just my read on it.
