Letter to Your Future Self

A one-page time capsule. The seal strip carries the written-on date, a do-not-open-until date, and a stamped seal; the letter body prints as ruled paper with a margin rail of prompts — where are you sitting, what's taking up your headspace, what are you quietly proud of — so the writing stays honest instead of drifting into resolutions. Then the part future you will actually flip to first: a predictions block with right/wrong checkboxes to score on opening day, one question only future you can answer, and a signature line for past you. Type the date, predictions, and question; the letter itself is written in ink, sealed, and hidden somewhere you'll forget.
