Future self · A fictional example

I hope you kept the little things.

A message from the person you are today.

A letter from a new flat, an uncertain beginning, and a few hopes that have nothing to do with a job title. A quiet conversation across five years.

Written by Avery

The people and stories are fictional; all imagery is illustrative. Your own keepsake holds your words, photos, and recordings.

Start with their name and one thing you want them to remember. The rest can come a little at a time.
