letters to an unknown lover
i’ve recently started writing letters to my future partner, i know it’s cringey but i have been basically single my whole life and i have a feeling i wont meet my soulmate anytime soon so id like them to also know 19 year old me.
i also think it will be really interesting for them to read them in many years and be able to link back what they were doing or going through at that time (when i wrote the letters)
on the other hand this will be a terrible idea if i remain single for the rest of my life

i thought about doing the same in the past but i'm taking this as a sign to finally do it. i've also been single my whole life and idk i feel like that could help my little hopeless romantic side!

I’m starting to do something similar—writing letters to my future kids. I’m 19 too but I thought my kids might want to know what it’s normal to feel and what it‘s like to go through your first breakup and wrangling classes with social stuff and feeling lost. Anyways excellent post

joshuac i’ve thought about this too!! also a wonderful idea bc by the time they’re 19 will we feel so detached from the age we can’t remember how hard it was

both in and out of relationships, I’ve written love letters to myself. i think it is a similar concept, wanting to create an outlet for the love you feel now, even without someone specific to direct it to! i think that’s lovely!

writing a letter to your bestie in the future
just sat down and wrote love letters to each other to be recieved in our thirties and hopefully to be read together over some cocktails on a couch with our toes touching the same way the were while writing these! who will we be by then? how much and how little might change? what did we want each other to know then and now? so excited to find out
practical rec: using futureme.com to be sure you dont lose the letter before the due date

WRITING TO YOUR LOVED ONES
my girlfriend and i are long distance, so we got matching notebooks to keep a journal of our writings for/about each other that we plan to give the other once they’re full. i’ve found it to be an extremely fulfilling practice, we’re creating an archive of our love.

USING TEXT AS THE ONLY FORM OF COMMUNICATION WITH A LOVE INTEREST
No I don’t want your socials. I don’t want to know when you’re active and not replying, I don’t want to know when you’re posting stories or who you’re following. I don’t wanna know. Tell me in person, when we go on a date. I want you at complete face value with zero pre conceptions.
