Curious Correspondence is a company which make portable escape room puzzle quests - I like the idea of making something like this to encode my message for myself!

Physical or Digital?
What do you need to hear?

What do you want to hear?
How will the message be delivered?

What is your 'door'? Where will you go?

What is your 'hat'? Your calling?
Who are you?

In order to make the message my own, I wanted to incorporate some of my uniqueness and my interests; Personally I am really into codes, riddles and puzzles (this is my own substitution code that I invented in and have used ever since 2014.)
I think it would be fun to create a sort of puzzle/escape room journey that helps me discover my message, so that my message could be public but it means something really special to me.

I like to see the message to your future self as a way to reflect - obviously in order to have a message to be sent to your future self, you have to understand the self as it is, at least a little bit.

In this way I thought about Inside Out in relation to the idea of core - To me this is the distinction between moments and memories that we experience that just fade and wither, and then other moments that just seem to stand the test of time; where you go 'Oh I know I'm holding onto that one.' I think this is interesting because things that seem insignificant to the future are suddenly weighted to feel massive in the present, and stay with you. I'd like to explore these things for myself.

Another idea I would like to explore would be to make a little doll of who I am - I like this as a form of a record for who I am in the present to remember myself in the future, to explore how I've changed. This acts as a form of connection through time, sort of like a voodoo doll but more wholesome... More like a worry doll perhaps. This serves as a way for the future me to continue the conversation with my current self, but I accept that I will change and grow.

Interesting ways to send messages other than in an envelope - Clay, felt, etc?

In relation to a message to my future self I like the idea of a zine that records the things I want to do, whether or not I did them and whether or not my list has changed.

A Conversation through Time and Space. In Blink, The Doctor is able to have a conversation with Sally Sparrow by starting it in the past, who fills in the answers in the present (Or, the Doctor's future) - which later gets sent back in time to the Doctor as a script.

This is obviously not achievable but it is interesting as a way to think about ways to send a message to the future. The message is a sort of puzzle, sent through Easter Eggs on VHS tapes and put together to complete the full message (but relies two key people to decode it.)

The Good Place - The Funeral to End all Funerals

# data[].attributes.body
In the Good Place, the characters decide to throw a funeral for themselves as they would like to be remembered.
I think conceptually this provokes an interesting question, that if you could speak at your own funeral, what would you say? What would you say to your future self at the end, even if they're dead?
