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.
Ideas to get you started
- 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.

姐姐万圣节快乐
亲爱的 唐佳怡：万圣节快乐呀！🎃 前几天我给你了一份小礼物，你已经收到了。选的时候我纠结了很久，怕不合你心意，又怕太刻意，最后还是挑了我觉得你会用得上的。希望这个小小的东西，能在这个有点凉意的秋天，给你带去一点点甜。 其实，提笔写这封信的时候，我的心情挺复杂的。距离我们上一次联系，已经过去两百多天了

嘿嘿嘿
向青云你不知道我这段时间都经历了什么？刁难我也还好吧，这事放在谁的身上都会接受不了，我也能理解他们，我现在好像得了厌食症，根本就不想吃饭，也不饿，先前还说减肥难呢，现在可好，不用特意减肥，整个人瘦了十斤，关于你父母的这种做法我也不做过多的评价了，我只是觉得，这个孩子虽然不该来，但是这是我们两个人造成

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.
