Time capsules aren’t just for grade school. With UnlockLater, you can send your future self a message — whether it’s a pep talk, a rant, a reality check, or a meme.

🌈 Why Write to Future You?

  • Mental clarity — get thoughts out of your head
  • Emotional processing — express what you're feeling now
  • Personal growth — see how far you’ve come
  • It’s ✨aesthetic✨ — very main-character energy

📝 Ideas to Write About

  • “Dear Me in 6 Months…”
  • A playlist that defines this phase of your life
  • What you're manifesting or worried about
  • A message before your exams, breakup, move, or job

“I set one for my birthday next year with a list of things I better have figured out by then. It’s like sending yourself accountability... but fun.” – Riya, 19

🔐 Why UnlockLater?

  • Set your own unlock time (days, months, years)
  • Optional password to keep it just for you
  • Auto-delete if you want to burn after reading
  • No one else sees it — not even us

📅 When Should It Unlock?

  • 30 days from now — short-term reflection
  • Your birthday — treat yourself emotionally
  • New Year’s — future vision energy
  • Random — because chaos is part of the journey

🔥 Tips to Make It Worth It

  • Use voice memos or videos (hosted elsewhere, linked inside)
  • Add memes or screenshots — make it you
  • Be honest — this isn’t for anyone but you

🌟 Bonus Idea: Message Roulette

Ask your friends to send you a time-locked message for your birthday — and don’t peek until the day comes.
