"Read this, please <3"
Dear person who probably loves love,
Yesterday I was cleaning out my room (
), and I chanced upon a forgotten memento in the past. It's a cute little something I wrote the summer between 8th grade and high school, sitting in the fourth pew at church. I think I had just found out the object of my affections had just been toying with my emotions, and of course my poor little heart was crushed. But as I bent down to brush the tears from eyes, my gaze landed on the stack of blank "encouragement cards" that church members write messages on and send to each other for...encouragement.Hey, I could use a little encouragement right now. And I started writing.
It's a letter to all future SOs (significant other), boyfriends or fiancees. I think my 8th grade self even planned to store it safely and whenever a relationship got serious, I would hand this to him over dinner and say, "Read this, please!"; but of course I just forgot about it.
Looking back, I realize I really wrote it as a letter to myself. A reminder of what I truly wanted, not to settle for less. My 8th grade self was wise. Since then, I've been through love from a million directions, matured a bit, swore off dating for a while and (of course) currently reconsidering it (yes, I know you've that too :])
Here it is... a piece of my young heart... don't be too critical!
(If you look closely, you can see a faint pink circle in the bottom left corner. I sealed it with a kiss! Ah, middle school.)
Haha.
And even after all these years, I wouldn't change a thing in this simple message.
I think I'll keep this.
I decided to share this with you today because... I want you to think about what you'd write to your future SO... and then tell me!
Lay down the law! Make requests! Or just get all gushy... I know you will...<3, an older (but still young at heart!) mel
P.S. I love you too.

awh. thats cute (:
Awww, that's a good idea :)
If I were to write a letter (which I think I might) it would be very similar to yours :)
Thats so cute! Its kinda what I would say! I love it. :]
I love how it gets sweet and the ending says, "I DON'T believe in pre-nups" But it's cute :D
aww i like it!
thats some motherfuckin sweet ass shit!
click on the image to see the whole thing :/ it's cut off :[
That's so cute! =O
The pre-nup line at the end is awesome! I really like this - your 8th-grade-self WAS very wise. I wish I would have written a letter like this to myself years ago. I didn't, but I finally figured out how to NOT compromise on the big issues that are really important to me in a relationship . . . and I think I've found The One.
That's so cute! What a treasure to find in your room :)
It's weird isn't it?
Our dreams and hopes seem so pure when we are young. We wish for neither wealth, nor beauty, yet stability. Stability. The word seems so vague now that I am in college. :)
Anyway. This letter made me smile like crazy. Thanks for that.
cuteee!
a bit naive but i think it's what a lot of us want but can't find.
This was so adorable and refreshing. Thank you! :)
This put a smile on my face. Thanks for sharing
that has to be the most adorable thing ive read in whole day!
thanks for sharing =) real cute!
Thanks a lot for sharing this with us :). I couldn't help but smile during the whole time I was reading it. It is so random and cute... I totally didn't expect the last sentence!
Sooo adorable & Its totally cool that you have something to keep you encouraged :)
especially about love
"I DON'T believe in pre-nups!"
LOL I didn't even know what a pre-nup was in 8th grade...
its..really sweet.. =)
My girlfriend wrote me something similar to this. It was really cool reading it.
I love that your post includes your readers! That's shows you are a selfless person and are interested in others...or at least I hope so =]
Dear future SO,
Love me entirely.
P.S. I am waiting for you.
I've written a note to myself before. (:
At the end of my junior year of high school, one of my teachers made each one of us write a letter to our future 5 year selves. He then told us that he would be mailing them to our address after five years. I think that's pretty cool. (:
aww this is soo cute. =]
Xo
@tastytimmm@xanga - Hah, I'm in college and I just found out.
I don't believe in them either. =D
@a_single_raindrop@xanga - I would hope he really does mail them out! I wish I had a cool teacher that forced us to do that back then. =(
