[ WP ] You write a note to your future self . When you store it , you find another note there- a response from your older self .

He'd been writing letters to himself ever since he could remember. His mother had written the first one, to be opened when he was 20. The message was nice, just a `` I hope your life's going well'' etc, etc. The letter had a lot more meaning after she'd died. Tom was hoping for some sage wisdom, but had no such luck. He'd been on his own since he was 17, when his Dad left. He did n't know where to. He'd just come home one day and found the house empty. He did n't blame his father. He'd crack too. He lived in the house on his own from then on. The government did n't mind, the house was left to him, there was no outstanding mortgage, or debt and he was old enough to live alone. So he got a job, nothing fancy, and lived his life. He'd just lost momentum. He did n't see the point in anything anymore. He would've killed himself by now, only that he did n't care enough to bother. It'd been a while since he'd last written one. One to himself in his 50's, telling himself to keep moving with the times, to not get stuck in the mud. This one was to himself in his 30s, about 10 years later. It was a simple message, and more of a question, really. The message was: `` *Have you found a meaning yet? Should I bother going on? *'' Looking back it sounded pathetic, but you can go to a dark place when you're like that. He folded the paper neatly, and placed it in a box, where he kept the others. 
 
 When he opened the box, there was something odd. The others seemed to have been pushed to the side, whilst one lay in the center. It was stained yellow/white, as if it had been around for quite a while. The edges were singed and a little burned. He unfolded it, and looked at the message. It was the exact same one as the one he had in his hand. With one difference. At the bottom, in messy, but very clearly his handwriting, was written `` *Yes to both. *''
