🌿 Seasonal Journal Prompts: Letters to the Past and Future You

A gentle invitation to reflect, release, and begin again.

🌸 Part I — A Letter to the Past You

These prompts invite softness, gratitude, and release.

1. What did your past self long for that you now carry?
2. What do you wish they had known — and what would you gently tell them now?
3. Write about a moment you survived that they didn’t know they could.
4. What are you ready to forgive yourself for?
5. What version of you needs to be thanked? Honored? Released?

🕊 Prompt: Write a letter beginning with “Dear Me, I didn’t realize how much you were holding…”

🌱 Part II — A Letter to the Future You

These prompts open space for dreaming, becoming, and gently moving forward.

1. What seeds are you planting this spring — in life, thought, or heart?
2. Describe who you hope to be six months from now. What’s different? What’s the same?
3. What does your future self know that you don’t yet?
4. What small choices today might quietly shape your tomorrow?
5. What do you hope they never forget?

🌙 Prompt: Write a letter beginning with “Dear Future Me, I hope you remember how brave it was to begin…”

Your past self may not have known better, and that’s okay. However, your future self will thank you for your endurance and strength.

You are worthy, no matter the lessons you had to learn to become who you needed to be. You know better now, and we’re proud of your growth.

Thank you for sticking it out, for not giving up, and for being here. Every day you’re alive is a good day for someone.

You are loved in your flaws and seen in your depth.
