“There is something special in hearing from your past self. You are the same person yet a better, more mature version. Older through experience, wiser through mistakes or victories. Futureme is the perfect platform to showcase human change, the creators may not have a psychology background but hit the nail on the head when they worked on the item that we ALL want to be remembered or reminded. Bless you people, you are a truly making a difference.”

“I love FutureMe. I've been writing myself a birthday letter every year since 2011. And when I forget about it, the surprise is amazing! It really makes your day. Writing the letter is also therapeutic. It helps me set my goals for the future, and reminds me to become a better person.”

On my commute into work I get this email. Thank you @futureme for this!!! Definetly do not remember writing this--probably was at a PD that forced me to do it & thought it was corny. Really appreciated this! Doing one for next year!! #iteachmath #NYCSchoolsTech @NYCSchools #MTBoS https://t.co/uphPuV2vql

Thanks @futureme for the past letters that I've sprinkled to myself over months + years. Today - time to sprinkle! You are my go-to at the beginning of the year, recording the seemingly mundane to be (much) later pleasantly surprised.

How do you cultivate self-compassion? Today I got a letter (via https://t.co/MG2DcaDRgK) from myself 3 years ago. Hindsight isn't 20/20. I forgot the things I valued then that informed certain decisions. Reading the letter unleashed unexpected self-compassion.
