FutureMe thrives on the concept, “memories are less accurate than e-mails.” The simple webmail service lets you write a message to yourself and specify a date sometime in the future to have that message delivered in your inbox. It’s a fun and potentially impactful way to relive memories, share words of inspiration with yourself, appreciate personal growth, or set goals for the future. For a nominal fee of $2 per year you can send yourself a message anytime in the future or for $12 per year you can send your future self unlimited messages.
After you write yourself a message, you can head over to FutureMe’s ‘Featured letters from the past’ section and spend hours reading the thoughts from other past writers.

FutureMe allows you to send messages privately or anonymously, and occasionally publishes excerpts from the anonymous messages for other users to read. They can be fun and addictive insights into fellow users’ thoughts and experiences.
So, give it a shot and I promise you’ll be pleasantly surprised in a few months, years, or decades later when you get that message delivered from yourself in your future inbox.
