I stumbled across an old journal entry I wrote on my birthday back in 2020. Reading those words from past-me hit differently. I had forgotten small moments that once felt huge, and it was wild realizing which goals I had quietly achieved without noticing. That moment inspired Birthday Vault, a small app I created to capture that same feeling of connecting with your past self, without the pressure of daily journaling (which I am terrible at, honestly). You just write one message a year, and it unlocks on your next birthday. It is simple, slow, and surprisingly meaningful. I would love to hear what you think or if anyone else here has a yearly ritual like this.   submitted by   /u/projectmind_guru [link]   [comments]
