Journal prompt
A short letter to yourself, a year ago or a year from now
You could write a short letter to yourself a year ago, or a year from now, whichever feels easier.
A short prompt from our Prompt Library, for a note to yourself, not a plan or a promise. A few lines are plenty, and you can choose the direction that feels easier.
A few ways in
- Perhaps start with 'Dear me,' and pick a year ago, or a year from now.
- You might write one thing you would like that person to know, or simply say hello.
- Some people keep it very short. Others love a whole page. You can stop whenever you like.
Example: 'Dear me, a year ago: the kitchen will be warmer than you think, and the plant does survive.'
A thought: Some people like to write to the past. Others find the future easier. You can also write two tiny letters, or none, and come back another day.
A journal is a writing hobby, not a treatment. A plain notebook is every bit as welcome.
