Writing Prompt: My Future Self Just Sent Me a Text (And It Was Rude)

What if your future self could send you a text message right now? Would they praise you for hitting the gym… or roast you for still not returning that library book from 2009?

✍️  Writing Prompt: Your phone buzzes. It’s a message from yourself… ten years into the future. It’s not a friendly check-in—it’s a blunt, brutally honest wake-up call.


📝 Example Starter: I stared at the screen, confused. The message read, “Seriously? You’re STILL procrastinating? I thought we agreed to stop binge-watching documentaries about people who own too many cats.”

I blinked. “Is this… me? From the future? And also… what do you mean too many cats?”


Writers, the challenge is yours: Does your future self give you advice, warnings, or just sass? Do you listen… or hit block number?

A Better Life ~ Being an Example

It’s not easy being a good parent. Parents  teach their children how to love by loving each other.  Parents teach their children to be respectful by being respectful to each other. Parents teach their children how to interact by the way they interact with each other. Children learn more by watching than by listening. Everything a parent does is recorded in the child’s mind.
