So watching my subscriptions on youtube one of the vloggers mention as website in which the date you set is the time the email is sent.

Allowing you to send a message....essentially to the future.

I did mine.

I basically told older me to have certain things done.

I told myself what i should be like
and what i should have changed by then (smoking etc...)

I said if i hadn't done that stuff I had failed and need to spend the follwing month completing the list.

I sent it to my 18th birthday.

Give it a go.
I think it's an excellent ideas.

Future me

So, it's like a time capsule thingy? I like it! Thanks for sharing!
Hmmm... *goes to think of what I would tell my future self*

I did this like sometime in July last year, and sent it for a year's time, I thought it was a pretty neat idea. For the life of me, I can't remember what I wrote to myself so it should make an interesting read. XD

I wrote one on Oct 4th, 2008 to my now-girlfriend. She'll get it on Oct 4th, 2010.

I have nooo idea what I wrote in it haha.

GhostDog · 20th Apr 2009, 10:33 PM

I'm leery of these, because I find my past messages so damn embarrassing.

I got a time capsule message from my fifth grade self and one of the things I included was, "I hope you got that backstreet boys CD you wanted!!"

Haha oh god.

Katherine · 21st Apr 2009, 03:00 PM

I did one two years ago to my 17-year-old self. I already don't remember much of anything I wrote. I can't wait to get it, haha.

Interesting! I don't wanna be a richer man, I just wanna be a different man. ñ.ñ

I actually had to do something like this during my senior year in high school. My English teacher had us all write letters to ourselves, and she would mail them to us in 5 years, after undergrad. It's only been about 2 years so far, and I do not remember what I wrote at all... lol
