Remember the World’s Smallest Postal Service (and their fantastic DIY activity kit) which we mentioned here on the blog some years ago?
Lea Redmond and her company have been busy creating lovely new things in the meantime, and we’re here to tell you all about one of their more recent ventures — a book of letters which you write to yourself, to read in the future! 😍
The “Letters to My…” are a series of themed books, each containing 12 paper time capsules (which are a set of 12 aerogrammes bound together in a hard cover). There are several themes to choose from, from letters to your “older and wiser” self, to your baby, mom or dad, grandchild, the bride…
On the Letters to My Future Self for instance, each letter features a prompt such as “things you never want to forget” or “promises you made to yourself”. As inspiration strikes, you write down these memories or pieces of advice on a letter, which you then seal with a special sticker and save for when the right time comes. We’ll let Lea show you how it works:
Each aerogramme is beautifully designed and the thoughtful prompts encourage us to sit down with our thoughts and plans for a little while, inviting reflection and appreciation.
We’re truly enamoured with this simple yet genius idea. Wouldn’t they make perfect gifts for snail mail lovers? We think so too, which is why we’re super excited that Lea’s company Leafcutter Designs shared some of these with us — so we can share them with you guys!
We have 2 copies of Letters to My Future Self to give to two lucky postcrossers who answer the following question in the comments: If you could write one short piece of advice to your future self right now, what would you tell yourself?
Good luck everyone — remember to check back on this post around this time next week, to know whether your name was picked by Paulo’s random number generator. And a big thank you to our generous friends at Leafcutter Designs, for sponsoring this giveaway! 😊

I would tell myself:
The future is now.
My advice would be to stop worrying about what other people are thinking, most likely they're not thinking of you; just be happy.
Don't look back in anger. (my advice)
Simple but effective: You are original. Stay original.
Be happy and have no regrets.
I would remind My Future Self that there is an endless supply of love...more than enough for everyone (even me)...so share some with someone every day.
Always remember what really matters in life: LOVE, FAMILY and FRIENDS!
Keep doing what makes you (and the others) smile!
I would say never worry because you got old, live the moment, take a deep breath and enjoy it. Never stop exercising.👍
Everything will be allright someday
Keep on swimming

Dear future HG, remember: never give up. You're so strong and brave!
My short piece of advice to my future self:
Never stop trying
Don't forget who You were
I would remind myself that times goes very quickly so stay in the moment and enjoy what you are doing right NOW!
I would write to myself: don't miss the possibilities, as its is better to do something and regret than not to do and regret.
Don´t quarrel with your decisions!
Don´t be so selfish!
don't forget to give yourself the love that you so freely give to other people
Always respect and love all the people of the world. Everybody has a great story to share with You!
Take education more seriously.
Keep calm and love sloths!
Be the best Grandma ! ;-)
If it's not broke don't fix it!
Pray before every important decision
Everything passes, don't stress so much about it.
Don't be afraid, take chances!
never regret what you did. For you can learn from both good and bad experiences.
Don't forget about the child you once used to be. Children are cleverer than they may seem.
Live your life everyday with full enthusiasm, love the simple things, be happy with nature, love life .....
Be happy with what the life is gifting you! Life, nature, family, friends and "Postcards"! :D
Enjoy every day! 🌸 Yesterday is gone & tomorrow may never come!
Just enjoy the moment and do not hesitate to make changes.
I would say to myself "the older the happier" :-)
"Don't try to please everyone around you. Your own happiness is more important."
That is a thing to never be forgotten :)
Let's watch the film Mamma Mia and sing and dance around the room with a good friend now and then.
Good job! Continue!
Be the best version of you, that you can be!
Do today so you can't regret tomorrow!
Love yourself and the people around you every day. And enjoy every second of your life, because you only live once.
I'd probably tell my future self not to listen to me, cause I have no clue what I am talking about, and if she does have a clue, then she's already better off :D
Be present in every moment.
Dont let the heartbreak and pain that is caused by the past make you give up on the future. Love is great even the pain that comes with it.
Never hesitate to step out of your comfort zone!
I'd just ask myself if I'm really happy with my life.
Get an university diploma!
I would say to have confidence in myself and to trust your instincts :)
Don't sweat the small stuff!
you have to do everything, and do not worry, you have to follow your dreams, choose your destination, so you can have everything in life, then all you can do, and if you find people who are those who will distrust you have to say that I must do it
Don't be afraid to take risks to realize your dreams because there is no tomorrow!
Remember all those times you didn't sleep properly? You didn't went for a walk? All those times you chose responsibility over enjoy? Today is the day to stop. You are doing well and deserve it. Tomorrow anybody knows, so today, please, take it easy and relax.
What an awesome idea! And I love the design!
I would tell myself to enjoy the small things in life, to stop for a minute and just be happy about what is right now.
There is a saying I often think about: "The hours are long but life is short". So true.
Look how far you've come, be proud!
Show your true self. Trust me, it's not that bad.
Live as a better man as possible, now and later.
Approach problem with solution, not fear.
My advice would be: Be brave and never lose the motivation!
Love yourself,because you're good enough. You're your own friend.
My advice to myself would be worry about the things you can control and stop stressinvg about the things you cant control.
Stick with your gut & never do anything because it's the comfortable thing to do.
Work smarter, not harder!
Always remember: Live well - Laugh often - Love much
Don´t forget what is really important :)
Don't be afraid to do things, it's worse to regret later not doing them and wonder what would have happened if...
It was worth it.
If you want to blossom, never forget to take enough vitamin C - Creativity and Coffee. ;)
Learn French! :)
I would write: "do a lot more, think a little less"
Bloom where you are planted! :)
Knowing me; I would probably write a long letter telling myself how I think life would be in 10 years time. So then I will probably laugh when opening it since life is never how we expect :)
"Don't look for excuses of not doing things, always look for ways of realizing your dreams so that you won't regret things you haven't done."
The only time you will regret something is when you said yes when you should have said no.
You are never too old to start something new.
Challenge yourself more!
I would tell myself how to get trought every day in future even if life isn't easy. I would make list of thing I want to do. This is amazing idea. :)
I'd tell my future self: never lose this huge postive energy that we both have in ourselves. Even if you decide to change my beliefs, remember to stay in harmony with yourself. I wish you all the best. We both know that we're awesome!
Think twice before doing something and do not be regretful after doing that!
This has to be something like: be strong, keep going, you will make it. In every way, no matter what way. Everything will be good. Oh and please love yourself, you don't even know how beautiful you are.
Don't lose sight of who you are, you love photography and writing.
You want to travel Eastern Europe, so if you haven't already, then do it!
Your friends and family are very important, never forget that and always make time for them.
Stop worrying about what might happen and probably never will happen. Far too much time is wasted on over thinking, rather than just enjoying stuff.
Do not become a 'yes man', learn to say 'no' when you need to.
Never worry about taking too many photos. There's no such thing.
Oh and remember, you are skinnier than you think you are.
Don't look back ans regret nothing :-) :-)
Don't worry, be Huggies.
I would tell myself: seize every day and moment with your family!
You're gonna drop your cell phone in a pool of knee-high mud while trekking through the Amazon rainforest, with the love of your life. Don't worry, your otter box case saves the day. Enjoy the trip - it's unforgettable!
Believe in yourself.
Stop procrastinating :)
I would tell myself; You will be a wonderful teacher.You will teach not only English but also humanity and peace !!
Don't stop having fun =)
to keep good thoughts in my mind and heart,
thoughts change the world.
If the people around you are happy and loved, you're doing a great job! However, don't forget to be happy yourself!
"Don't even start to think you're getting old. You still have all the time in the world to have fun and fulfill your dreams!"
Always trust yourself. You know you best.
Stop overthinkimg an enjoy your life!
I will tell my future self, see you believed in God and the strength you have to help. Your wonderful son is alive and won the fight for his life. He fought the illness that his Dr said he was going to lose. He is healthy with a great wife who stood strong with him and has beautiful children now.
You had positive thoughts keep them always. Family is beautiful love them always.
"Hello future me, don't forget to get some *bunnyhealing* when feeling stressed!" :D Staring at cute bunnies works.. for everyone.. anywhere!..I mean, we're talking about Bunnies! You can't go wrong with that! :D
Don't worry about everything
I forgive you!
Live nowadays, don't wait for the future
I would write a quote wich for me is very accurate on hard times: "It always seems impossible until it's done"-Nelson Mandela
Be happy!
Remember: Everything is going well!
Do the things you love more often.
I'd tell myself to think about all I managed to overcome: it will show me my strengh and remind me to believe it will get better
Trust yourself in every step.
I would tell myself, that I should remember to enjoy my life. Not to do to much, that doesn't make me happy. There's no time to waste. Just enjoy! Enjoy being happy! :)
I would tell myself (in my native language): Fehler sind dazu da um gemacht zu werden.
God decides how long is your way. Only you decide how broad it is.
Life is too short. Enjoy every minute!
Remember what do you want from life and make sure you do your best to get it. But if not, its okay. There is still time to change it. But dont waste our time any more.
Don't sweat the small stuff!
I'd tell myself to follow my dreams.
A goal is important for the path it sets you on. Relish in the path - the outcome is just an added bonus.
I would tell my Self:
You had to much worries. Look where are you now!
I'd tell myself 'what are you waiting for?'.
i'll tell myself to believe in dreams and catch it, also never regret anything.
Remember all the things that happened, but do not let it consume you. Life is full of ups and downs...it's okay.
I would tell my self to never give up and always do my best even when things look bad.
Be kinder to yourself. And then let your kindness flood the world. - Pema Chödron
I would tell myself: never stop drawing!
Follow you Heart, All Things are Possible.
I would tell myself that experiences and memories are far more valuable than possessions.
I'd tell myself that even without a baby, my life was happy, blessed, and complete.
I would tell myself that I hope I can look back and honestly say that I lived each day to it's absolute fullest, and that I need to keep loving and caring and enjoying each new day as it comes.
Everything happen for a reason.
Life is too short to waste time matching socks.
You made the right decision!
Be Yourself All the time
Be Present, Grateful, and. Enjoy the gift of each day, hour, and moment.
Dear Future Self,
Never ever doubt yourself again. Believe and have faith. You're the strongest woman I know. You are beautiful and amazing inside out. Don't let anybody define your worth. Just be yourself and everything will slowly fall into place. I'm excited to see the woman you will become, years from now. Don't worry, I got you covered. You'll be doing just fine. Make me proud, girl!!
Love,
Present Self
Think with your head but decide with your heart, even if your head sais not to 😉
Remember: life is short, so try to realize dreams, be happy, be honest, take care of you and your dear and also... keep calm and send a postcard! :-) -Serena-
I would tell that you should live all your days like they're the last and have no regrets on even stupid things that you do ^^
Yesterday is the past, it CANNOT be changed, live & love the present and always be kind to yourself - You are a good person <3
To Future Self:
Sometimes 20 seconds of courage is all it takes to overcome an obstacle.
From,
Current Self

To my future self:
You are never too old to dream a new dream.
Dear me,
Congratulations on leading an awesome life. Hope your life was useful to someone.
Checkpoint, are you still the same fellow you used to be in 2016?
I would remind myself to stop worrying so much and to start doing stuff instead... enjoy the little things, live the moment!
Hi me,
Wake up with a smile and thank yourself for health. Do something helpful for someone in need. Think always; " A Day without laughter is A Day wasted"!
Take care of your self and your love-ones,
Anneke
PS Keep singing!
Hello Future Self,
Enjoy the moment! And keep plenty of postage stamps on hand. They are important as you still have many things to write to others. You will forever be a lover of mail so be prepared!
Yours Truly,
Ramya
Keep doing what you like.
All the best!
Do not judge a decision made in the past by what you know today. It was a right decision for the time. Be happy with your choices....or chose again!
I'd tell myself that I should never regret things that I'm doing or not doing right now.
Hi there.
what are you doing?
have you achieve your dreams?
should i pity you bcs of me?
i hope you are far better from now
xx
Breathe and smile. You're good.
If you could write one short piece of advice to your future self right now, what would you tell yourself?
- Take a deep breath, you are a doing good.
Always say yes to good opportunities. Always be kind, but steadfast. Be kind, but don't let other people abuse your kindness. Keep trying even when you feel like giving up, just keep trying. ❤
Listen has the same letters as Silent. Always take the time to be Silent and Listen to your inner thoughts. 😊
Hello My Future Self, If you still like the Lion King then You're doing good, If not, then think about what you're doing and Press Reset!!
Celebrate life the way only you know how, take losses serenely.
i would tell my future self: Yesterday is the past, tomorrow is the future but today is a gift and that´s why it´s called the present :-)
I would tell to my future self :-
:) YOU LIVED A GOOD LIFE :)
Live the life to the fullest!! You never know if there will be a tomorrow or not.
As we say in Hindi- "Kal ho na ho" :-)
Keep making penfriends as long as you live and share your happiness with them! I love postcrossing and holding the letters and postcards. :)
It's YOU, not them...!
Keep try, good things happen to them that never stop to try.
Thanks to god...you was alive now...health and happy...dont forget to make people around you happy...share your happiness..
Always do what you feel, like you are feeling
Life can be fun if you really want to, keep smile :D
The sun will raise again tomorrow and it will be a better day!
Regret nothing!
I would tell myself : Don't ever forget that you are precious.
Stop and take a few moments just for yourself... Your time passes by so quickly and you don't want to miss it all because you were too busy to notice!
I would write myself: Don't be afraid of living. “You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.“ (Wayne Gretzky)
don't worry, be happy instead
Don't be afraid to try. Go for it
Don't look back. Just keep on going and see the world! :D :D :D
My "advice": Follow your heart.
My advice for my future self: See every day as a new opportunity to do good deeds.
I would say 'Always be yourself'.
My future self, are you still quarrel with dad and mum? I hope you've stopped argue with them and have found the way to show your love to towards them!!
That I should never stop seeing the world through my childrens' eyes!
you don't have to be the best to be good at something, just do what makes you happy
I would tell my self that I'm blessed & I have to do better
Remember when you were upset and you read that great book which made you so happy? Don't stop reading, don't stop writing. Tell everybody you love them, they will tell you too. 'Seize the day, boys. Make your lives extraordinary' Make the world a better place. Smile. And mainly, read and write so you will be infinite.
be kind to yourself
I would tell myself to never give up on my dreams (and I would also I hope that some dreams have become reality by the time I'm reading those letters). I would remind myself to never lose that optimistic spark and staying true to myself.
Every day we are learning more about ourselves and other people and it does not matter what age you are. You will never stop learning about the world around you.
What a marvellous advices, what a joy to read them!
I will be 81 in 10 years and I would write; hey, are you still there? Maybe you don't remember it now, but you lived a life full of ideals and followed your heart and spirit and falling and rising was part of it. Do not regret anything as your life was like it was meant to be. Go on traveling in your own soul, that is far enough, further then anything indeed.
All roads lead to Freedom.
Life in the Now and be the best Mum you can be!
my advice for my future self:
enjoy every minute with your friends and with your mum! you don't know who long they are alive. everything can change your life or their life so fast. an accident, a disease,... don't waste time arguing with them!
Dear Susan, Make the most of life -- whatever age you are now! 😀
I think it would look like this:
Greetings, Vika! Now I'm 21 and I'm full of optimism! Well done, you has kept optimism. I'm proud of myself!
Love your family, make tons of precious memories with mom and dad as they love you with all their heart. Be courageous and explore what's out there. Breathe on because life is short, the world is big and there is love all around you.
Try new things! You could always end up liking them, and if not, you can still quitt.
Never stop dreaming
every day is a new chance !
Stop procrastinating and get working!!
Dear future Barbara,
stay just as happy as you are today (20. 8. 2016). Be always grateful for people and experience in your life and stay keep on what you are doing. :)
Never stop learning and try to gain as much experience as you can.
Do what you think good, and never regret your acts !
Dear future self, don't think about me anymore, live your life!
dear future self:
eat well.take your vitamins. your health is your treasure.
*wink*wink
I would tell myself that "everything will be alright in the end. If it's not alright, it's not the end"
I told you so: you can do it!!!
To my future self I would say - "There are 7 days in every week and "someday" isn't one of them" do all those things and see all those places that are on your "someday" list because if you live to be 100 you will never have enough time :)
Dear me, aren't you glad you listened, smiled and remained calm ? That's what I would say to my future self.
Dear Deb, you are stronger, more courageous, and more confident than you think. And yes, you can travel the world by yourself (if you choose).
Worry solves nothing.
Dear moi,
Just be yourself ;)
Keep the memory alife, but look into the future with lots more tollerance, peace, energy for all cultures and other thinking people. You are amazing.
Don't afraid and live now, "later" may never come
Shoot for the moon - even if you miss, you'll land among the stars. :)
Enjoy the ride!
Simple but effective :D
Enjoy every day with a smile! :o)
Give everyone you meet a smile, 99% of the time they will give you one in return. Put it on first thing in the morning and leave it there for the day.
Hello Old Man !!!
You won't regret what you have done but those things you never did...
Carpe diem!
For my future self.
No path is wrong or right as you are who you are meant to be.
I would say
"Don´t forget to be awesome"
Enjoy your entire life: yourself, your friends, the things you do, the snailmail you write and the one you recieve.
Go to college to achieve my dream, yes, I can do it. Be careful who you chose a mate, set sites higher.
Take every day as it comes without worrying too much about the future.
Always remember that dreams come true and even miracles happen!
Wow, this is a great giveaway! Thanks for the chance to win.
If I could write one short piece of advice to my future self right now, I would tell myself..
There is no need to worry about future catastrophes. Spend that time LIVING the now!
Go forth and have no fear.
Keep up with post crossing, snail mailing and sending surprise letters and packages to friends and relatives: It brings so much you in peoples lives and in your own.
Celebrate the moment!
I hope that you can still see kindness and love in the world, specially in the darker times.
Enjoy every day of your life. Smile and be happy.
Learn a coding language and have a courage to be different. Finish what you have started.
Just do it, do it with joy and don't regret it ;-)
I would just say: if you have to force it, leave it. The perfect relationships, yoga poses, perfect pony tails. Let that shit go!
Laugh, love, travel, dream, learn and live life to the fullest!
Love and write
Smile - you're ok :)
Keep your feisty nature which helps you cope with your progressive genetic illness and then you won't give up like your father did.
Message to my future me : Be proud of you and never give up.
Message I would send to myself:
You are the best you, so don't try to be someone you're not.
P.S I hope you've finally had that trip to Asia!
Message to my future me: Remember, when you're dying, you wont think, Boy, I really made a great carreer! But you have the chance to think, Wow, I had such beautiful moments with my loved ones. Make sure you will think about this in your last minutes of your life.
It's the little things that make life worth living, don't forget that. And remember: Worrying about things going wrong isn't the way the make things go right.
Love yourself and don't be afarid to go outside and just be yourself. The right people will notice and it will be worth it. Hiding does not solve anything.
I would tell my future self not to hate former me. I tried my best and gave everything I had.
I'd remind myself to not worry too much about the little things. And when little things seem big, to think of something to put them back into perspective...
Keep yourself alive!
I'd like to say "whatever you are, dont forget to pray"
Don't hesitate!
Be yourself!
I'd say to myself : Were things really better before? Come on, it's time to compare, and maybe that's not so bad.
Or I would just like to watch the old tree and see if it is a bit wiser. I like to think we are onions, and have several layers.
I would say that when something goes wrong and you think it is the end of the world - say to yourself "Will this matter in 5 years?" "Will it change my life?" Base how upset you get on how it affects your life not your day.
I would say "Learn German" ))
if at this time you aren't on the path you've mapped to happiness then what path are you on? Don't get blown in different directions from someone else's happiness..Follow your arrow.. stick to the path.
don't forget to say the things worth saying
I would say: Don't forget to spend time with the kids. Listen to what they're saying, what they like, who their friends are. Play with them, talk to them, sing to them, cook with them. Hug them, a lot. When you make an appointment with them, keep it. Say good morning, good night to them. Tuck them in at night. Make sure to end their day with positivity.
Don't be so serious, HAVE MORE FUN!!!!!
Your're what you've chosen to be in the past.
enjoy life and try more new things
i will tell myself :
No matter where you are, be happy, be strong, be yourself !
I would tell myself; yes, you should have done that a long time ago but that's no reason not to do it now!
Search and find happiness is difficult, but sometimes it is little things that make your heart fill.
Always be positive about the future and don't worry too much.
Always be happy with what you have because ( You have Something ) and Something is better than Nothing.
My advice, well actually a question, would be: Did you do what you wanted?
My advice to myself (and others). Don't lose sight of your dreams and make at least a few come true. Time goes by too fast. Meanwhile: Cherish the little gifts of today. Do something crazy and don't worry what other's think. They judge because they are too scared to be judged and therefore lack spontaneity and creativity.
Your dreams WILL come true! Even though they seemed impossible. Do not stop believing!
Be positive, be nice, be happy, be what you are. What you give it's what you get.
Be open and ready to unfold yourself to something new
I would tell my future self to be happy with what I have despite of things I don't have.
'Everything will be OK.'
Be kinder, to yourself and to others.
Live up to YOUR best; this is YOUR success.
Never stop chasing your dreams. Stay positive, don't worry and never regret anything. Your past is what made you who you are now.
it's ok to look back , y'a know, to put things into prespetive , but do'nt be consumed by it : Enjoy life as long as you can, you deserve love , including your own !
What may seem like a challenge may actually be a blessing in disguise.
Most people are kind, helpful and friendly wherever they live and whoever they are. Don't ever loose the desire to communicate
Even the craziest, hardest dreams are possible if you pursue them!
I would tell myself:
You are NEVER too old to learn/try/do something new. Go for it!
Be more optimistic!
Have you ever grown a plant from a small seed? Have you planted a tree? Have you ever hugged a grandfather? Have you ever had a crazy laugh with a small child?
Don't count something lack of, you already have a lot of valuable things.
"Remember when you thought you were crazy?"
Try not to worry too much about the future healthwise but try to enjoy every day.
Seize the day!
Just DO something!
Protect your loved ones! Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today! For example, tell your loved ones "Love" today...right now!
Go out of that room and live. Now!!!
I would ask myself if I am happy and if I can tell stories and share memories...
Don't dwell on the negative. There is something to enjoy in every day you are given.
You see, I told you so! ;-)
Keep writing!
Keep in touch!
Play with her every chance you have because yr baby is already a toddler, she's going to keep growing up so fast so Mama pay attention and be ever present to her.... Take photos constantly! There will be time when she's sleeping for you to write, time when she's independent and doesn't need you... Cherish her, always put her first. Remember that yr daily troubles are so much smaller than they seem. Living and loving will always be more important than the creative expressions of yr life and yr love. You are so lucky... And write more postcards!!!
Sometimes you will be humiliated and have to admit you were wrong. That does not make you less of a person. Rather, it will make you a better person.
I would tell myself to let the little things go and that you can't change the past.
Live your life and be happy for yourself. Don't worry too much cause everything will work themselves out.
If someone we love seems out of step with our ideals and beliefs- do not worry or stress yourself. Probably they are hearing a different drummer and march to a different drumbeat. :-)
i would tell my self ...its not a dress rehearsal...this is now...it is real and it won't change unless you change it.the world owes you nothing.....
I would write to myself:
Be true to myself, don't change for anyone and stay a kid inside for ever.
Study to became a nurse, becouse your mom will need your help.
Whatever you want to do, do it NOW - because later can be too late
Соберись, тряпка, это еще не конец!
Dear future me. If he finally marry you, please raise a great family as you can.
do not be sad! the best day in your life is a moment today!
Dear future self, please do what you love and what you wanna do (music) not what your family wants you to do.
Stay awesome!!!
Time wait for no man. Keep on moving.
Do what makes you happy!
Never say never!
I'd say: Seize the day!
In 1994 the Postmuseum in Stockholm gave young people the opportunity to write a letter to their future selves. 20 years later, in 2014, the letters were sent to the writers, and there was an exhibition about it. You can read and hear about it here: http://www.postmuseum.se/utstallning/brev-till-mig-sjalv/ (unfortunately only in Swedish).
You have been doing a great job so far. Continue the work and never give up no matter what the difficulties are. Embrace each day that is offered to you AWESOME lady.
How interesting - i had to do this in a college writing class and recently found it!
Keep going! You can do it!
August 2016: almost 1K of postcards - received and sent
What an emotion!
Everything takes time,after our efforts results are great!
My advice would be: It's never too late to be who you want to be.
Dear Future Self: There are always more whale watches to go on -- don't be discouraged because you missed one. (And remember that Postcrossers offer the best advice -- continue to enjoy!)
Hey, future self! Engage in more activities, go on that trip, stop worrying so much because five years from now you'll look back and regret all the worrying, read more, spend more time with people.
See, it pays to be patient! You're doing great.. Just keep moving and have faith in yourself, always! And yes, one more thing, don't forget to enjoy life and the little moments that come by! :)
Note to future self:
Did you register that postcard yet? You better go online now and register it quick. You don't want that person go paranoid just like how you would. Haha! And oh! Make sure to travel more and be less angry at the world. Be appreciative and patient. It'll make them love you more. :)
Dear Future Self! Remember, life is about being happy. Hopefully you solved all the things that have been holding you down and are flying free like a bird now. If not, DO IT! Don't waste more time!
the best is yet to come :D
Don't lose that sparkle in the eye!
Travel somewhere you haven't been before!
I would say: read this blog entry and you've got every advice you need <3
Stay yourself :)
You do exist now, not yesterday
No day but today. <3
Stop worrying so much about everything, let what happens happen. PS. Eat that slice of cake, you deserve it!
Remember:everything will pass
Please, be bold! This is the most important thing for you!
Relax and Enjoy!!! Don´t worry too much!!!
Be happy and Be yourself! you are beautiful inside out!
Pay attention to what is truly good, truly beautiful, and truly important.
Live every day like it is your last.
Remember when you panicked in the past? It too passed, so why worry now?
Whatever u do, be yourself.remember, the great people were always themselves....be the one you've wanted to be
" hey you came this far?" married by now. =)
Think back to this day (2016) when you wanted to die - the reason wasn't worth it then, why should it be now?
Hi my future me, i am you from past, please let me go and learn from me. Keep tryin to be a better person, have courage and be kind. I am proud to be you now
I would say to myself: stop to lie on the couch and do nothing, this is your life, and everything is in your hands.
我要變得更強,過去的自己都是現在的墊腳石,So PRAYING RUN,我就是我的一切
Hi future me, have you done what I dream? I will try my best to continue equip myself to become a better me, and I hope you will never forget those help us along this way! Be thankful and keep going!
Don't worry, be happy and live at this moment!
Trust yourself! You know what is best for you.
I would tell my future self: "Don't eat that cake !!!!"
Dont't wait for other persons or times - but keep in mind, that you're the one and now is the time you've been waiting for!
Remember that little redheaded girl you once were and never forget to dream!
don't worry too much - that's my advice))
My short advice would be: "Life is too short to waste! Enjoy each day and be happy!" =)
Do the things that make you happy and are true to who you are. Don't let others dictate who that is.
Send more postcards.
I would write about the present, so i an re-live all the memories!
Thank you for organizing this giveaway! All the best to everyone!
I would remind myself that there's no better time than right now.
Never stop believing in yourself, your skills and your good nature - you love people, people love you.
Hi! You see? You did it! Just do not forget to be with God in everything you do :)) Best regards, sweetie, keep on going:))
As my favourite Author Dale Carnegie said: "don't worry - live for TODAY!"
Actually it is all what you need, to enjoy the moment, even if it is just enjoying the sun :')
It's summed up in my favorite quote: "All motion is relative. Perhaps it is you who have moved away by standing still." This was from the play Inherit the Wind.
Stop being afraid and scared, just jump into the pool and everything will sort itself out.
I ♥ U no matter what! Keep fighting girl!
Did you make a family? Did you find really unusual friends? Did you see the world? Or did you do something I can't even imagine now? ;-)
Don't be so hard on yourself all the time.
You don't have to be perfect.
- Make today count, tomorrow will worry about itself
- If you love someone, tell them now, don't wait
- Take that leap of faith into your dreams, you may never get a chance again to do something great for yourself
Make every moment count! Get out there, say hello to the people around you and always, always keep an eye out for an adventure!
Let bygones be bygones. Life is once. Keep on going.
After the longest winter comes the spring...
Dear me: Don't let this happen again!
Keep working hard for the things that make you happy.
Eat chocolate -be happy!!! :)
Don't worry, dear ;) Keep calm and remember: never give up! You can overcome any difficulty!!!
Keep caring about people. Tough as it may be, it is worth it. I am hoping the seeds of love that get planted bear fruit in my future me that is you.
Stupid decisions happen at any age. Don't ever think being young is an excuse.
Have you reached your dream?
Have you went to places that you've ever wanted?
Have you find yourself?
Well, whatever has happened, remember your very first and one destination, right dear ^_^
Are you a millionaire now???
Don't do something that makes you unhappy just because it pays well. Reach or your dreams.
I would tell myself to just take actions rather than sitting around. Do it now now now!
don't waste time: neither your's, nor other people's.
Delight in everyday MIRACLES!
I would say: you will always be stronger than you used to be
Don't be afraid!
Just do what you want to do,and don't forget your beginning.
Always be kind,keep smiling!
Life is too short to wait :)
Still you have a long journey to go so don't be disheartened if you don't receive this beautiful letter set.:):D
Carpe diem
Don't worry too much about 'not being enough'... Being you is the Most important thing, even if that's not entirely cookiecutter.
Be yourself and never give up on your dreams. Find your wanderlust and soulmate. Love you.
Best regards from 2016.
I hope if I ever get Dementia people will read this too me. They will learn about my life and so will I ! lol
I guess you are already wiser than me, so I won’t give you any advices. Maybe just - don’t be afraid of anything and keep on making this world and yourself better. I really hope that when you’re looking back at these past years, your heart fills with joy, happiness and even with pride for what you have done and for the way you have lived.
Lots of love from 2016! :)
Do not give up on postcrossing!
My advice would be to listen to my heart as deep inside I know what is right and what is wrong.
Keep moving forward.
You can do amazing things, just believe in yourself
P.S. I hope that you (I) passed the exam, because we really need to do it!
See you soon
2016
I would tell myself:
Just Do It and Never Give Up.
I would tell myself that shyness never helped to achieve anything.
You're beautiful as you are, don't forget to shine.
What i would write to my future self: Don't listen to what others say, follow your own path and you will get there too. Don't bend everyway other people want you be or become, walk to your own drum.
Hello lovely self :) I know ADULTING is hard. You're probably looking for a job right now based on your board exam results. But whatever the board exam result was, its still You. You did your best, and that is enough. Be stronger and may the perfect job land right in front of you today, SMILE! :D
You will figure it out.
Motivation is the key to productivity.
Every day is a new day. Good things are to come.
Note to future self: Life's challenges lead to growth.
Just breathe.
I will tell myself that nothing is more important than family and friends. Love them and value them more than everything else.
I would tell myself that to never forget about hope because it will get me through so much. :)
Positivity is key
Health is the most important thing we have - and therefore, using preventative health is the best thing we can do for ourselves.
Hasta la victoria, siempre!
Don't ever stop postcrossing! :))
Advise to my future self:
Don't ever give up on your dreams!
I would say:
Do not regret a thing ! :)
To myself? Go on travelling, that's the best way to spend your money... Meet new people, be kind and generous, smile!
Remember that there are always better days to come, so never give up!
Everything is possible. Some things just need more time and creative approach.
Be yourself - everyone else is already taken.
Dear Future Me!
Call your parents, tell how you love them.Go out with my old friends, even if you haven't done that for a long time. Share your memories.
Remember who you used to be.
I'd like to say, ''Enjoy your life!You deserve to be happy!''
"Be confident, believe you are capable of doing incredible things" :)
My advice to my future self: "Call on the name of the Lord!"
I wonder, how many kids you have? Or perhaps you're still single? Life is beautiful isn't it? See, I told you so...
I would say...travel every chance you can & when you can't enjoy Postcrossing to plan your next trip!!
Stay active, keep learning, love lots and enjoy everything you can!
I love you. Don' t be afraid. It is OK to make the mistakes. Just do what you think is the right thing. Smile And love. And always remember I love you.:)
"What, are you still here? You obviously haven't been drinking enough".
It gets easier; hold on, you are strong enough!
Don't forget that no matter what, life can be also beautiful
Care for self. Keep believing. X
Did you try ? No ? So this is the time !
