A Letter to the One You Love, Sent to Your Future
The most extravagant thing you can do with love is keep this exact feeling intact. The sweetest things said out loud fade into the everyday — but put them in a letter, addressed to your first anniversary, the night before your wedding, or an ordinary day ten years from now, and they become proof, delivered to your future selves, of what this love looked like at the start. People here have written through the hardest stretch of long distance, to "the us who finally live in the same city." One person wrote down every nervous heartbeat the night before proposing, addressed to the couple's tenth anniversary. Others simply want to tell a future partner: I love you so much right now, and I hope we're still together when this arrives. Nobody knows the ending when these letters are sealed — and that's exactly what makes them moving. It's a promise made in earnest, mailed to the future. Below are letters couples chose to share. If there's someone on your mind, write this moment down.
How to write this letter
- Capture your ordinary days: the restaurant you always go back to, the little habit of theirs that gets you, the last thing that made you both laugh. That's what the future wants most.
- Write the thank-you or the apology you've never managed to say out loud. A letter makes it easier — and more solemn.
- Pick a delivery date that means something: your anniversary, their birthday, or a future the two of you have promised each other.
- Or each write one and swap — schedule them for the same day and open them together. Plenty of couples do.

不要讨厌我
我不会纠缠了，放心吧，我不是纠缠，只是不成熟，控制不住，你知道的，对你好是这辈子要做的事情，不要讨厌我，我给你买的东西一定要吃。 我不会再纠缠，烦你。你觉得是一个好朋友在关心你就好了。

你还好么，未来的自己，这时候你应该已经考完高考了吧，希望你能取得好成绩，还记得和她许下的诺言么，毕业后就在一起，所以请你去兑现你的诺言，给她一个拥抱，一个吻，因为你爱她爱的无法自拔……

你还好吗
今天是愚人节，我写了一份永远发不出去的，你永远收不到的短信，因为你已经拉黑我了，三年后的今天你已经结婚了吧，有了属于你们的孩子，希望这时的我已经忘记你了，土鳖，你过得还好吗，好久不见。

单身的坚持
我很喜欢女人 但我对滥交的女人不感兴趣 我喜欢和纯洁的人 相比性 我更喜欢那种完完全全拥有对方灵魂和身体的感觉 彻彻底底的了解对方心底的秘密和身体每一寸肌肤和所有隐私 这才是我想要的

Frequently Asked Questions
What if we break up before it arrives?
Once sealed, a letter's content and delivery date can't be changed — but if you truly don't want it sent, you can delete it from your letters page before delivery day. Many people play it safe by sending the letter to their own inbox and deciding later whether to pass it on.
Can my partner peek at it early?
No. Between sealing and delivery day, nobody can read it — not even you. The surprise stays whole.
How far ahead should I send it?
First anniversaries, wedding anniversaries, and birthdays are the favorites. For a first letter, keep it within a year — it's free, and the anticipation is just right.
