Write yourself a letter, which will then be emailed to you a date of your choosing. You can also choose whether to make your letter 'privately public' - anonymously making the subject and body of your email available for public consumption. Although you will occasionally get the "I'm 12, you will be 16 - do you like driving?" type of crap, it's usually quite fascinating to see what people write on this site. Poignant, jubilant, embarrassing and painful, the emails really cover the complete emotional spectrum. It also makes you wonder how many of these people facepalm themselves after reading their email.
