Dear Me In the Future

Would you like to remember how today is like exactly a year or two from now with no one telling you about it but you?

Would you like to remember what you and your kids did today, say, ten years from now?

Would you like just to remember things the way you experienced them?

I often catch myself asking, "What happened a year ago around this time? How was life like then?" And boy, I cannot remember. I am past that stage of diary-writing. What did I feel? What did I do? How did I react? There's that widening memory gap.

Remember the mommy in the movie "Safe Haven" (2013) who, before she passed away, wrote a letter to each of her family members with a note on the envelope telling them when they are supposed to open each letter? She even wrote one for "Her"- the girl who will love and be loved by her husband. Her letters were kept on a drawer until a fire consumed her entire legacy. All is gone.

We don't want memories and thoughts to turn into ashes, do we? It's good, we now can write letters to ourselves in the future. We can also write letters to our family, friends, and loved ones and we can decide when they will receive it. These letters can be about anything! We can communicate to them and to ourselves in the future. How cool is that?

Ohlife's time capsule can help us remember momentous events, milestones, or simple things that we want to keep in our memory banks. Just indicate when you want to receive your letter to your future self, write the letter, write down your email address, and finally click "Submit". It's that easy and simple. Millions of letters have been written. Why not send one to yourself now?
