Stories Worth Sealing
I sealed a letter to my daughter on the day she was born. She'll open it when she turns 18. I cried writing it.
My partner opened a capsule I sealed a year ago on our anniversary. The song I was listening to, the weather that day... it brought everything back.
I write a capsule to myself every New Year. Opening last year's reflections is now my favorite tradition.
