Start the new year with a letter to yourself.

It's something we do almost every year.

But last year we forgot to write to ourselves, so this year we can't miss it again.

For us, it's a good feeling, like receiving a New Year's gift from us in the past.

Sometimes you can put small things or bags of money for yourself in the future.

But most of them are just good messages, hopeful messages, encouraging messages, telling stories about what we've experienced over the past year, and we've been great at it.

Every time you read it, it will feel like you have power again. Of course, there are many times. And many of your intended goals will eventually fail or forget. In the end, the future will not be what we intended, it will not be okay.

Because no one knows what the future looks like.

But at least we have ourselves to cheer for.

And passed out together another year. 💕
