Rec | 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!
