Letters to a younger self

Hello world!

By way of introduction, my name is Jake and my co-author for this project is Mike. Through a fluke of the very temporary existence of things on the internet, the idea for this endeavor was stumbled on by Mike, and so after a bit of struggle with the logistics of setting up such a thing, we decided that it would be worthwhile to take the ideas that we had been brainstorming over for several months to the rest of the world.

Letters to a younger self was created to be a way for people to share the joy, the wisdom, the wonder, the pain, and the sorrow of their lives in the form of letters written today to younger versions of themselves.

We welcome submissions via email to youngerself@gmail.com, as well as by physical mail address to:

Your Younger Self
1122 E Pike St. #1478
Seattle, WA 98122

Mail art consisting of decorated envelopes, letters, or postcards will be scanned and posted. All letters that are received will be posted without editing of any kind with the exception that all letters will be anonymized.

The first submissions should appear shortly.

Our hopes and dreams to yours,
Jake and Mike.
