Does anyone else do this ?
I just found a letter I wrote 4 years ago and was so excited to open it but then I read on the front "Don't open until you're 20" (which is next year) and I put it back in the box ! I was so tempted though :wink:
But I've been doing this for quite a while and it's amazing to look back and see what your life was like, goals you had, silly things you thought back then.

Writting letters to yourself
I never did, but I used to keep journals up until a little before Eric was born, and its interesting to go back and read what I said, and what I thought was important and stuff. I was totally different!
Yeah, I do the journal thing. I used to have some from when I was like 15-16, but I got rid of them. I read them first and it was weird, all the things I thought were so important at the time.
When I was in high school, I took a parenting class and we had to write a letter to our kid for them to open when they were 15. I don't know if I still have it.
That's a cool idea, though, with the letters. Maybe I'll try that.
hahaha, i thought i was the only one who ever wrote a letter to myself. :oops: I wrote one when i was 13 and i opened it last year. Its crazy to see how different i was then. I tryed to predict what i would be like at 18 years old. I wasnt the exact person i thought i would be but im happy. I did the whole journal thing from when i was 8 years old until i was 17 years old. I have like 8 of them. Those are REALLY interesting to look at because that was what i used to vent and write EVERYTHING. Its weird seeing how my writing changes evertime i got into another phase in my life. Wow, i just realized im a dork....lol
It's pretty amazing how we change as we grow older, especially after having children! :)
I started keeping diaries again... I think I began last September... I'm currently halfway through the third one. I like to write down my thoughts and dreams and fears... it's nice to look back and reflect.
I used to have so many journals that I wrote in over the years, but I lost them over the last couple of years. I think I'll start journalin again though, soon, tonight. :) It's always nice to read old journal entries and reminisce.
